Friedrich Nietzsche: The truth is terrible
What actually is happening is people being indoctrinated with a view of themselves and the world as being animals spinning around a rock with no purpose and no meaning. This is how the powers that be wants us to feel, and it&#x27;s the point of going through the education system, shaping us into specialized workers,  with relief coming from consuming things.<p>It seems very few people realize what is going on. It&#x27;s no accident the world was told to be round in the 1500s, because in order to make people believe we are pointless small little hairy apes, you first have to create the understanding that we are not special and have no purpose.<p>Let the downvoting begin :) Hacker news readers are usually unable to even consider things like what I said. It&#x27;s natural to assume people like me are just dumb, but reality is not that easy.
