Ok, maybe this is more true. I guess it had never registered with me that as SciFi we shouldn't take it seriously.

To me SciFi are like Faery Tales or morality stories, like Aesop's Fables. Like Captain Jack Sparrow, being a drunk, pillaging pirate and one of the most moral, anarchistic people in the story.

BTW, several esoteric & magickal paths that I've studied often refer to wisdom and other occult knowledge as often hidden in plain sight.
