“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” Do you agree?

“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”- Albert Einstein

There have been many experiments that have shown that many people will blindly (and sometimes unjustly) obey people they perceive to be an authority figure.

The Holocaust is probably a major historical example of this. If enough people revolted against Hitler- his power would have been crippled.

So, do you question authority in your own life? And, not just authority that gets a lot of public lash back (like Trump and politics). Even things that are generally respected positions like doctors, police officers, people with celebrity status, etc.

I question everyone and everything they say. Especially "authority figures".
