How The World Functions

The average man knows NOTHING about how the world functions.

NOTHING.

He has a basic understanding of physics.

He knows the history which was taught in school.

He knows recent events as told to him by the news.

He knows how the justice system is meant to operate from his old teachers.

The average man knows what he's been told.

He knows how the world is "meant" to function.

But it's a fugazzi.

A theory,

Everything the average man knows is a make-believe story.

He wasn't THERE in 1743.

He's never been to court.

He wasn't at that event 3,000 km away, nor does he even know anyone who was there.

He didn't make the vaccine he took,

He doesn't even know who made it or how it works AT ALL.

The average man THINKS he knows things.

He was given enough stories to feed his ego and make him think he's smart.

And he will stay ignorant of how the world functions.

Because he won't take any action to actually learn them.

The average man won't enter the arena and see, through experience, that nothing is how it has been told to him.

The key they never taught in school is that you only learn through bravery.

If you want to learn how the legal system works, you must ENTER the legal system.

If you want to learn how politics work, you must ENTER politics.

If you want to learn how life works, you must TAKE the risks.

This is the difference between education and wisdom.

An education is being able to recite what you're told.

Wisdom is knowing how the world actually works.

Education can be given.

Wisdom can only be earned.

You must enter the arena to pull back the curtain on how the world really works.
