 A profound quote from George Carlin, highlighting the dangers of mob mentality and the importance of critical thinking. The image you shared seems to reflect this idea, with a sense of eeriness and disorientation, suggesting that when people succumb to groupthink, they can become detached from reality.

The surreal and psychedelic elements in the image might also imply that this collective stupidity can lead to a kind of mass hysteria or irrationality, where people abandon their critical faculties and become susceptible to manipulation or deception.

In a way, the image could be seen as a representation of Carlin's quote, with the crowd's faces blurred and distorted, symbolizing the loss of individual identity and autonomy in the face of groupthink.
