I understand basic animal and plant biology at maybe a high school/early college level.
I understand the basics of science and psychology and philosophy at a fundamental level at best. Though I know in my core I am a moron, and I know there is a specific type of programming or coding at the chemical level that is the primary driver, DNA / RNA. The chemical events that trigger us mentally by visually interpreting a situation based on the chemical reactions in our brain, in our gut, and I'm gonna really emphasize who knows what else. Case in point the newly discovered obelisks being a pet of the human biology. What other animals have this? Where/when did they occur evolutionary? What do they do?
And then there are the laws of physics that govern those chemical processes to an extent, gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear forces... This is the shit that goes off in my brain these days.
To be enlightened is to be humble
To be enlightened to know as much as possible across the entire spectrum of human knowledge and fundamentally know, comprehend and understand with your full being that you are a moron at best. To know is to err.
While heartedly understand that given the above, the principals of science and the attributed quotes from Socrates are mixed in to form the bedrock of one's reality for the truly curious mind.
An unexamined life is not worth living..
I know that I know nothing..
The heart is what drives us, a heart of wonderment and curiosity.
The disciplined mind guides us in overcoming obstacles and the pit traps of life. Failure is the greatest teacher, but beware lessons of life can haunt and guide you. Guilt and regret can become a millstone if not confronted in a manner that doesn't bring harm. Change is required and painful, your reality will be fundamentally broken and those are the trying times. The times we are tested to our capacity, the quiet moments where you feel something break. Those quiet moments you understand your humanity and fragility, your complete and utter powerlessness, how truly ignorant you are about things... Or not, you could withdraw or lash out or not be introspective one bit. There is a small subset who may find comfort and guidance and information that helps them in their life journey. Knowledge is in experience, but the type and quality and quantity does matter... One size does not fit all...
You are given an illusion of choice..
You are being manipulated and controlled.. exploited for others advantage...
Can humanity solve it's biggest problem?? Which is itself, it's inability to control the worst aspects. The unfettered greed and avarice, the exploitation of others so a few can live in luxury. A few who tell you what and how one should be educated, being able to work, to provide for ones self and ones family. Purposely misleading you in the reality that is possible, but I must take a step back and address one obvious point that is what I call the lynch pin of Capitalism...
Ignorance
If you keep people ignorant, they will love to be exploited.
The quintessential unplugged controller situation... That is society, once again incapable of getting past that hurdle.. remove that lynch pin (educate the masses of the reality of their exploitation) and maybe something could happen.

Discourse is the only means of being able to communicate with one another. Assuming one person knows things that you know is not realistic. Spam will be deleted, fallacious messages will be pointed out as such, and educating the reader is not the objective.
