Known for her autobiographical works like "Persepolis," which offers deep insights into life in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, Marjane Satrapi is a well-known Iranian graphic novelist and filmmaker. She frequently examines cultural conventions and the effects of conformity versus individuality in her work.

According to Satrapi, our world would be ideal or at the very least far better than it is now if the majority of people were always correct. But reality exposes us to a lot of social injustices and defects. She suggests that these flaws show that most people frequently make poor choices or have false beliefs. Satrapi concludes as a result that she cannot believe the majority of people.

A metaphor for this concept is to picture a big ship navigating choppy seas. Not everyone has a clear view or understanding of where they're going, so if everyone agrees without question and steers the ship without questioning its direction, it could end badly. Satrapi's message urges people to think critically instead of just following the herd.

Satrapi's viewpoint pushes readers to think critically about social norms and conventional wisdom. She highlights the importance of critical thinking and personal conviction in navigating life's complexities, particularly in difficult situations like her home country of Iran during periods of political unrest.
