In Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park," the author reflects on the complexities of societal norms that govern behavior. He highlights the tendency for people to blindly adhere to conventions without questioning their validity. This unexamined adherence leads to a lack of critical thinking in an age where information is abundant yet often unchallenged.

Crichton emphasizes the irony of our modern world, suggesting that while technology has advanced, it has not necessarily fostered deeper understanding. Instead of liberating thought, the tools we rely on may have diminished our capacity to think critically about the very systems we navigate daily.
