I really enjoyed just nodding along to this piece. We share the same spirit (I think!). I was reading this book called "The Myths We Live By" and I have to share the opening quote would resonate well with you.

"Most people would rather die than think" - Bertrand Russell

And I have pondered about this a lot. It's not so much about unawareness but more to do with active refusal to do so. It's a topic that I'm still digging to this day.

Thanks for your lovely comment, Chusana! That’s a great quote, sometimes it really feels that way! Exactly, people can be aware of things and still deny their existence. It’s fascinating! I will check out the book, thanks for the recommendation, sounds like something right up my alley.
