Breaking the Matrix of Ignorance

Breaking the Matrix of ignorance

Weak men cannot leave the shelter of comforting lies and false hope .

They do not accept the reality of world as it is.

Constant denial of subjectively unpleasant but objective truths of this chaotic and unpredictable world is the greatest sin of mankind.

Objective lookout for knowledge is mentally demanding and discombobulating for those who do not want to leave to their comfortable bubble of fake optimistic philosophy.They do not like to be shown what lies beyond the matrix of this fake, idealistic , made-up reality.

For them ignorance is bliss

Man's natural tendency to put seemingly unrelated but sensually similar things into context, even with a lack of reason, is a characteristic attempt at rationalization, to protect one's self‐image from feeling completely arbitrary.

There is a heavy dependence on unreliable sensory data and a strong preference for simplistic explanations of complicated things.

This sublte-looking flaw of human nature is disastrous in true sense

Trial and error is the only way for someone to reach the truth who does not know how to discover and discern real knowledge from a pool of infinite possible combinations of data and noise.

Unfortunately life is too short for that and some errors can make it even shorter

Our cultural motifs, our educational system, our communications media had failed most of the men miserably

Denial of irrefutable scientific orthodoxies like evolution and advocating the artefacts of pre-scientific era like creationism by a numerically considerable section of population is seriously concerning.

Denialism might look harmless and inconsequential at first sight but it is inevitably dangerous in the long run.

For example, our next generation will definitely pay the price for our denial of upcoming climate change and our reluctance to act properly and accordingly. 

Life will not only be difficult , it will be miserable for them. Even the last few years of our own lives might be miserable and unbearable, if that is what concerns you. 

Sometimes, even immediate negative consequences are seen too as in the case of anti- vaccination movement which resulted in the rise of almost extinct ,preventable diseases like measles in European countries .

Constant degradation of scientific values among general populous is damaging for the future prospects of our civilization , both immediate and far future.

Knowledge is what makes a species immortal as a whole ,connecting generations .

I always gaze upon stars and wonder what went on the minds of our ancestors when they were looking at the same stars and what our descendents will be thinking when they will be looking at those stars .

This sense of connection from the past through the present to the future is oddly assuring and mystically satisfying and yet most fail to stumble upon the real wonders of the world and they indulge in mysticism and pseudoscience to quench their craving for a sense of awe in their lives.

Science is the only glimmer of hope in a world drowning in the darkness of ignorance

Albert Einstein once said:

"All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet it is the most precious thing we have."........

 Yes, indeed it is the most precious thing we have in this Matrix of Ignorance
