1.1.2. Power ideologies mold the minds
In “Book 2. Volume 1. About the formation of human knowledge. 1.1. The context. I defend the thesis that the nature of reality is largely inaccessible to humanity (1). I further wrote that “We
better recognize, early on, the fact that the whole universe is
immensely vast; so vast that its true nature is inaccessible to human
reason. … Inaccessibility implies the unknown and humans don't like
unknowns. They have no problems with unknown "unknowns" for the good
reason that unknown "unknowns" simply don't pop up in their
consciousness but they feel utterly ill at ease when faced with known
"unknowns" such as those nagging questions resulting from the
inaccessibility of the whole universe to the human mind. Such known
unknowns become obsessions that drive people in the throat of anxiety
from where they search to escape at all costs. This is how societal
groupings, along our entire history, have been seen coming in the
picture by proposing approximations of reality, and of what the unknown
is all about, to be shared by their citizens in order to sooth their
anxiety. When shared by all citizens such approximations crystallize in a
societal view of the world or a worldview that all consider as being
the truth of the matter and this rewards those societies with higher
levels of cohesion which, in turn, facilitate their reproduction from
generation to generation.”
