The words
'they are only capable of contemplating their own immediate microcosms, but not "the whole" organism they are part of.'
are so true. Not just here but in the world at large.

From personal experience here, i have learned that when when you see the emperor walking down the road naked, and you call out 'hey this guy is naked' you get flagged : )

Not sure how you see things but I have always been aware of the social conditioning to take care of self and to hell with everyone else. There must be something a bit broken in me as that specific conditioning never made its way into my subconscious. I have often thought that my life would be infinity more simple if I could just shut the fuck up and take care of myself and ignore whatever abuse others are experiencing.
It must be something to do with adverse childhood experiences.
