The real tragedy of life on earth today is that humans are very adaptable with an unrealized potential for discovery and accomplishment that have both been intentionally thwarted and oppressed by the ruling class imo. One of their primary methods includes censoring and distorting factual information and valid opinions to deceive, manipulate and exploit the public - in order to maintain the wealth and power advantages as the ruling elites.
Counter to our great potential for success, nearly all of us carry a great capacity for believing and promoting lies when it serves our personal interests. Some of these lies are in the form of religious and otherwise myths and superstitions that may help or allow us to achieve personal success, but is it really “success for humanity” when it comes at the expense of someone else or the complete destruction of existing societies and cultures at times? Allowing ourselves the “liberty” to lie, manipulate and exploit amounts to hypocrisy of the highest order which many support here in the U.S.A while declaring ourselves the “exceptional nation” with a right to bully the world for our benefit. Exceptionalism is proving to be ruinous for our own socio-political economic system while the elites that promoted, if not created these lies for their benefit, consider themselves the ultimate “exceptional Supremacists” self-entitled to exploit domestic and foreign populations at will using propaganda and any combination of economic and military warfare they deem necessary to neutralize dissent and maintain order with them at the top. In truth the West has increasingly become ruled by propagandistic censorship and lies, including the lies we tell ourselves that enable our own participation in the system of hierarchical hypocrisy - where those at the top consider themselves the equivalent of Gods in the sense that they decide who is privileged enough to have career opportunities and live, or be sentenced to death by the elites tyrannical policies designed to maintain or enhance their own wealth and power.
In truth, at this time, we are not anywhere near as free as our myths and superstitions beg us to believe. While half the US population is working for annual wages at or below the poverty level, does anyone actually believe that’s all they aspire to? Those at the bottom are not free while the system has morphed into one where everything has increasingly come under control of those at the top, while only a tiny percent of those at the bottom have any real opportunities or options to improve their personal circumstances without stepping outside the law themselves. The difference is that those at the bottom get prosecuted and or persecuted for criminal conduct or dissent, while criminal elites and their top echelon puppets operate as a criminal enterprise with near impunity as sanctioned by the “modern” fascist state where everything is geared to generate maximum corporate profits - largely a trick to spread the wealth in order to keep people supporting the exploitative and criminal status quo.
Somewhat ironically, it can be considered a type of poetic justice how those at the top of our system, as a collective, are the most delusional of all in some ways. They are enslaved on a treadmill of their own making - where their policies of exploiting the public have made the elites existence one of self-consuming paranoia where they can never get enough personal wealth or power to maintain the system to their liking - while creating a growing impoverished class to feed their endless lust for personal wealth and power, creates growing unrest and the necessity for the elites to end free speech as a human right - while the oppressed without viable options are naturally and reflexively going to look for solutions and talk amongst themselves about the current political-economic climate and who promoted the lies that made it so.
