If we shortchange ourselves and accept something in blind faith then we have stopped our search for truth...
It is like the pioneers: they all set out trying to get to the pacific but some gave up and settled down somewhere inbetween. They never got the chance to finish the journey...

He believed that too many people put their faith in all the wrong things, and that this blinds them to what is truly valuable in life. Their commitments to a bad or inauthentic philosophy then keeps them from really hearing and learning the truth, even when it stares them in the face.

It is likely that he was "admonishing" those who denied reason, because, perhaps it was difficult for them to understand their faith in a new way when new truths are discovered by science or reason.

he meant that if you are so blinded by what you believe, "what ever it is" you may never know anything else.
isn't it time to open your mind to the unknown?

If your head's all stuffed with your own and other peoples' opinions, there's no room in there for you to learn real truth.
