If Humanity does have an enemy, it is "Ignorance".
That is, the unused tool of the brain not informing the mind of different ways of thinking.

This is basically an inability to make connections between diverse ideas to arrive at a comprehensive concept for living in harmony with your environment and those you share it with.
It is a limited mental construct that is formed out of an increasingly insensible and insensitive humanity.

The end product of this separative mindset in a diverse world is the illusion of superiority and privilege.

It is the selfish and greedy claim that the world and everyone in it owes you something by the mere fact of your existence...and you have no reservations about taking whatever it is you want by force and to the detriment of the rights of others.

In order to defend the indefensible positions of their argument, anything anyone else believes, or that can even be shown to be true, through empirical fact, is automatically designated as "FAKE".

This current swirl in the river of human history is throwing up all the sludge that has to be flushed out of our society through exposure to social discourse.
When the taboo is spoken of, it is already in a state of change.

We are all being exposed for the beliefs we hold and can begin to clearly see the separation, prejudice and bigotry for what it is and thus make a decisive choice as to where we stand on love, inclusion and rights for all people regardless of their inherent differences and ways of self-expression.

There is often no reasoning with this distorted attitude of outright denial of others' right to be, because when challenged on their "Truth" the impulse to defend their ideology always leads to a choice of obscene violence and elimination of the physical problem.
History and current events show us this.

They cannot see their fault...and there are none so blind.

Hi Derek,
It is not so much "ignorance" per se, but systematic cultural brainwashing to where the average "educated" person cannot ask the pertinent questions which relate to his/her existence and reality.
Not just unable but actually forbiden to ask questions which might unmask the lies of government, the for profit medical cartel, and the varieties of phony religious dogma designed to manufacture nice obedient consumers and single minded patriots.
We need to be asking the questions about how to get back to our roots as human beings, by exploring ancient human culture.
If you're ready for the ultimate truth study up on "Shivambu". If you are properly culturaly conditioned you will recoil in horror..
Cheers A.
