How much of what we see today is based on these three observations?
1. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie." - Joseph Goebbels*
"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." - Mark Twain*
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
*Unclear if these guys actually said this exact thing or not... but the observations ring true to me.
