Nobody Cares

Most people are complacent.

I don't begrudge them entirely.  Modern westernized society is a society of abundance.  Considering that people of these societies no longer have to worry about being eaten by bears they have a lot of time and resources to pursue a life outside of bear-trap making.

The reality of nature has escaped most people.  The nature of man for most is now just a will to exist unmolested in its consumption.

Most people in Western countries don't think about the rest of the world or the dynamics that are forming their reality.  They are constantly distracted by what they need to purchase next.  Once their lives become difficult or the true nature of existence smacks them in the face, they will quickly turn their heads and ignore the reality in an effort to avoid the inevitable feelings of displeasure - and thus action against the offending party - by consuming more.

Think of the expression "From rags to riches to rags".  Because of the riches accumulated by our fore-fathers' blood, we are able to live in a society of abundance.

Abundance breeds weak men.

In a sea of zombies primordially motivated to acquire new trinkets it's nice to see the occasional glimmer of intelligence searching for knowledge.

Unfortunately, like a mirage after a hundred mile trek through the desert, most of those glimmers turn out to be just an illusion.

Regardless of IQ most people in the west have such deep-seeded indoctrinations that no level of facts or statistics can sway them from their firm belief on certain observable and provable topics.

So you find yourself in a spat with a smart idiot.  Again and again and again.  How many glimmers will you visit until you find your Oasis?  How many can you suffer before you die from mental-dehydration?
