Quotation of the Day for October 24, 2010



"In a sense, it was learned thousands of years ago, but natural selection favors the forces of psychological denial. The individual benefits as an individual from his ability to deny the truth even though society as a whole, of which he is a part, suffers."

- Garrett Hardin, from The Tragedy of the Commons (1968).
