It fits!

Excellent new J&M - I think the slogan of 2018 should be "I don't care if it's true or not, it fits my pre-existing beliefs". 

Perhaps it's me but I see this attitude infecting our society like a cancer, I see it more and more these days. It's pops up everywhere, in politics (i.e. Brexit) and business, in religion of course (it's always been part of religion) but also in entertainment and culture more widely. Critical thinking is the solution of course, learning how to do it would be a good start and the age-old remedies to bigotry of travelling and reading widely need to be re-learned. At the risk of sounding like an old curmudgeon (as of course I am) this worrying trend cannot possibly end well for any of us but the despots!
