Is the biggest problem concerning understanding
and communication within a civilization that it
takes enormous amounts of trust towards others on issues nearly
outside of the realm of possibility to be understanding- even if hard working
effort is put in towards it?
My experience eye to eye with individuals and with locally accessible
facts is that blind trust often leads down a blind road
and how does that picture change when one enters more
parables and more centralizing of truth and power?
Will also say that
science is a systematic approach to understanding and
no guaranty of truth.
Is stability what a civilization aims for?
