You and I seem to think alike. It's refreshing to find that, and so rare these days. I think you're absolutely right about that foundation that people use as their perception of reality. It really reminds me of the red and blue pill in the matrix, it's much easier to stay ignorant, the truth is too frightening not just because it upsets the cozy feeling of trust and safety but also because it presents an open invitation to action.
p.s. I would upvote your comments but I'm very low on vote power, not sure how that happened :(
