I got together with a few friends I don’t see too often recently, and noting that they were some of the most thoughtful people I know, I pointed out how the weirdest thing I’ve found as I get older is, people don’t seem to know why they believe what they do. It’s like they don’t even think about it. If they talk about something they read or heard, and how true they think it is, they can’t answer a simple question about it. So, my question is, if I asked you why you think something is true, just say generically, what would you say?
