A people that has remained convinced of its greatness and invulnerability, that has chosen to believe such a myth in the face of all the evidence, is a people in the grip of a kind of sleep, or madness.

In Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses," the author reflects on the dangers of a society that firmly believes in its own superiority and invincibility, despite clear contrary evidence. This unwavering conviction can lead to a detachment from reality, where the truth is ignored in favor of comforting myths. Such a collective mindset can create an environment where critical thought is diminished, and individuals fail to see the risks surrounding them.
