DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!

There is a world that exists

beyond the calcium reinforced collagen skull-casing that surrounds your brain…

That world out there…

That is reality.

But in reality,

no one lives in reality…

The world you live in is the one between your ears…

Because like it or not,

that’s where you spend pretty much every second of every day…

What you put into your world is all your world will ever be…

And most of what we humans tend to put into our heads

was designed to entertain the brain…

And everything else that goes along with that

is meant to influence the brain…

To buy this,

be like that,

vote this way,

drive that id-mobile,

eat this kind of food

while laughing with a pretty friend who only prefers that brand of beverage…

Brains are being trained

that every problem is easily solved…

and every product is a solution…

So complicated is reality

…and in so many ways that some people actually become curious about it…

Those curious people ask questions…

they read books…

watch documentaries…

Visit museums…

And some spend a great deal of time in schools,

studying complicated things with other curious people

They take jobs that take on complicated challenges…
