One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth . The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been credulous .(So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles arise. ) Carl Sagan

The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it.
This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong.
Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.
- J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
