Extremists who are so sure of themselves are among the first to fall.

Quote:
Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.
But only the paranoid who are thinking in adult manner, learn facts, reach a logical conclusion, and ignore their fears. The other paranoia, called emotion, means one becomes entrenched and indecisive. No different from extremists who breed and promote complacency; to also become entrenched and indecisive.

Brexit - because so many are entrenched, brainwashed, and indecisive.
