Since very early in life, We are continuously trained to think in a certain way, to interpret events in a certain way. This training does not let us see the signs because we've been taught to ignore them. Take that away and the situation is very obvious.This, and I say this without a hint of condescension, is the most coherent thing you've said so far. The 'we' you refer to are indeed the bulk of this planets populace, but then websites such as this are a counter to 'we' thinking. Ok, the majority of websites devoted to, and the promotion of, rational thinking are a wee bit more formal than this one, but not nearly as much fun. It matters not, some of us can and do see through the blindfold.
It's a sad indictment on our education system that rational thinking hardly gets a mention, it should be one of the first things taught, and it's barely taught at all.
Thank you.
