The mind must be incredibly frail.

That depends on what you mean by "the mind". I think individual minds aren't all that bad. The problem is that minds are incredibly strong at building up group effects like racism.

Sometimes I think humans are built (by evolution) to be lied to, but I can't figure out why.
