In humanities early cave dwelling days, a grandparent might tell stories of lions that rip mens fucking faces off. If you see a lion, you RUN, else…you get your fucking face ripped off. Such sharing of information ensures survival. Our base code does NOT want us overwriting such information willy-nilly and running off to tame lions, or else we fail the prime directive, get our fucking faces ripped off, and humanity goes extinct.
So our brains play a trick, and meets the attempt to overwrite information stored as !important, with pain signals. This is why people will dig into their ignorance, even when faced with fact. Because it’s painful, uncomfortable, and requires a mental fortitude that must be taught and practiced. That’s why education is important, and also why certain groups make fun of science. Some religions prey on this part of our humanity, and how our brains work.
So yeah, most don’t realize the scope. But a lot of people refuse to accept it as reality, even when presented with overwhelming evidence. Which, I can’t totally hold it against people. It’s fucking overwhelming to realize it’s all just a massive fucking grift by assholes who got lucky with their RNG on spawn. Narratives buried inside narrative’s, marketing disguised as arguments and public discourse…truth, and reality…for the most part, they are whatever the person with the most means says they are. This is nothing new. Most religions have rules surrounding media for this exact reason, to control reality, and group think.
Everybody wants something from you, and it’s usually money and power. If you don’t have either, they want you to be ok with them taking it from your neighbors, or just too overwhelmed to care. If the bad actors do their jobs right, those with nothing will cheer when the wealthy ransack their neighbors meager belongings. We are, after all, a bunch of fucking animals.

I have been gone these last couple of weeks, what's new?

Over the last few weeks I have spent hundreds of hours getting up to speed on a subject that I'm not all that interested in, just so I could go into an esoteric forum that's dedicated to discussing said subject, all so that I can berate/troll these people, but mostly try to help them since I'm now up to date on all the relevant information.

I think the world is poised for a renaissance given how many people are so willing to blow hundreds of hours of their own time just to help others.
