Coberst, 25 years of self-actualizing self-learning has led you to the conclusion that we are victims of an evil world we have ourselves created out of fear of death?
And your solution is that more people need to wise up?
I don't mean to be flippant; I'm trying to boil down what you are saying so I can get it. If I am understanding correctly, it sounds very disempowering to me, because it sounds like you are saying things should be other than what they are, and people should do other than what they do. Am I misunderstanding?
