The Truth is simple, mankind makes it complicated.

AMEN Brother. Truth is utterly Simple but what invariably happens is that someone gets hold of it and makes it complicated and convoluted, shrouds it in an arcane language and puts themselves in charge of explaining and interpreting it to the poor schmucks who actually believe they know what they are talking about. This is true of Economics, Religion, Science, Medicine, Global Warming… practically any area, the complication of which, can be used for the purpose of raising huge sums of money.

institutions are for the benefit of those who run them. wikipedia is a good example of an institution not designed with this intent in mind but to actually serve the interests of users as best it can. does a pretty good job too. User knows they have to use their own discretion too which is a good thing.

Great clip Sapiens. Thanks!

I wonder how long it will take until people will stop believe in the illusions and simply stop playing the game. Now, that would be the end of the world as we know it.
