People DO know it, but they put it to the back of their mind because they want what they cannot afford and often think they deserve it... because they want it. It is like saying you are not killing a human if you "abort" it. You shove it to the back of your mind because reality is inconvenient. A harsh comparison, but I think a good one. It is fantasy.

Yes and they rationalize paying the ultimate price when sending their sons & daughters to die in yet another war. The state must have war - in fact they are one in the same. The war must have cannon fodder. Those of us who donтАЩt die must eat, have shelter and require a sane society. Therein lies the real rub.

A culture of death, supported by psychopathic kleptocrats, will always select for narcissism, selfieтАЩs, me-too-ism. These cultures of death fail and often fail spectacularly then go on to become the next one, and ad infinitum.

As biological humans we do know we want what we cannot ever afford and this is why we eagerly begin the next тАЬcivilizationтАЭ, eagerly vote for the next saviour politicians, send children to war, March off to war, support abortions, send our kids to government schools, put up with the planetary Corporatocracy of blatantly Nazi aims. Beware there is a betrayal al the heart of it as long as we donтАЩt Acknowledge the betrayals and form a better world for our children this will remain. Not that it is not possible - itтАЩs inconvenient- and as they announced at the beginning of Lord Of The Rings: тАЬFor none now live who remember it.тАЭ

History is our own nightmare from which we choose not to escape.
