Greetings Puddin' head! Try to remember not to shake your head too vigorously or what passes for knowledge and wisdom will leak all over the place, leaving you with a nasty mess to clean up.
The toughest job facing humanity is teaching people what they truly believe they already know. God lives in Heaven, a place that defies description by all who try but this does nothing to alter the fact that the dumber you are the more ardent your belief.
Because human teeth more resemble those of a grazing herd animal than those of the predator like Canines or felines, the idea that humans are meant to be vegans persists, ignoring mankind's long history of being opportunists. We can (and often do) eat anything (that doesn't eat us first!) This is not because of suitability but due to opportunity (mixed with a liberal dose of recklessness.) 'Hold my beer' is real.
Humanity's simplemindedness has led it to believe the inability to communicate with other species makes all non-verbal life food.
Seems the metric is set to if it doesn't kill us first, we should see if it is tasty because we are the only species that talks to each other...because we are the same kind, that's how we know it can talk and think.
Sounds dumb when you put it that way and you should have no doubt that some people have spent their lives searching for signs that our feeble minds are not the only sentient life out there...because if this is true, the implications are daunting.
Sentience makes you insane, we are living proof of concept.
Logic (a 'blunt instrument' at best) in the hands of the stupid (believer in dumb things) is a dangerous tool indeed.
Facemasks vs microbes anyone? How about staying six feet apart when the human respiratory system is capable of propelling microbe laden globules more than twice that distance?
Why did dummy pull six feet out of its backside? Could it be because it 'sounded believable'?
A vast majority of what passes for 'knowledge' is precisely that, you don't fully understand it, you just know its true.
This goes double for your core belief that you can't get a 'good job' without a college degree when as little as three hundred years ago the bulk of humanity was incapable of reading.
Are you hearing me?
More perplexing is the concept of freedom, we all yearn for it because so few of us have actually enjoyed it much less understand what it means.
As Tribal creatures, humans do not thirst to be 'solitary'. This desire is driven by our fear of the treacherous nature of others (especially those closest to us.)
Talk about insanity, we are all torn between the yearning to be a critical part of the team and being the center of our 'beloved's universe' (but only when it is convenient because this quickly becomes a hardship if we ever succeed at actually doing it.)
Did I mention 'insanity'?
Check.
Unfortunately, starting off with the fact you are the owner of a head full of bullshit isn't even a little helpful in solving the problem of how to offload some of the more 'gratuitous' and self-serving bullshit that literally pollutes your thought process.
That said, awareness is a critical first step.
True education comes from within because it comes FROM 'understanding'.
The more you understand, the more you will 'know'.
It's a lifelong process but it is never too late to start.
In fact, right now would be an excellent time!
Bon Chance, Head!

Can't change a mind that thinks it already knows. This is where stupid comes from.
