This seems to be the general attitude. When someone tells you something that seems insane and expects you to act on it, you resist, you argue your point.

If that person is an authority (parent, religious leader (appt by your parent), boss, cop, etc) you shut up and if possible act on it, since the hassle to resist isn't worth it (usually).

And sometimes, the craziest shit ends up being true, which knocks your foundation out and you have to rethink the world around you.
