In your opinion, what will knowing this or being enlightened gain for us?
what have the millennia of knowledge gaining (so, enlightenment) gained for us? Well...
- we live longer and better
- we've become more intelligent
- we have stopped being barbaric en-masse (the few ones who are still barbaric are ruling over us unfortunately, because the system helps them)
- we have gotten into space
- we have become more civilized in general (we don't bludgeon ourselves to death to steal each other's food or women)
Personally, I believe that we all live in a society of spectacle.
spectacle is the harmless part of the rigged society we live in, the harmful part you can see it in everything else (polarized wealth, greed, big egos, systems that favor the most opportunistic, most greedy, most egotistical and most aggressive specimens, etc)
In content such as the video in your post, this show is actually just an imposition presented to us by society.
we are the society, we show to ourselves whatever we want to see.
Also, no offense, but you didn't have time to watch the 40 minute long video (you've made your comment barely 8 minutes after I posted this video), so how can you draw conclusions on something that you don't know anything (or very little) about? Again, no offense intended, I'm just trying to point your misconceptions
I don't think any of us are special.
define "special" so I can address your statement better
