Virtual Reality

As human civilization had been evolved for thousand years...

And, more and more people getting higher and higher education and equipped with advanced computing equipment in pockets...

Why there are still so many people making mistakes in many important decisions, such as where to put their money. :-)

This enclosed picture could be the simple answer:-

VIRTUAL REALITY
Some may remember the Movie - "MATRIX", where the story said that human are living in a virtual reality created by Robots. I do not think that people will believe that kind of story....

But, we do live in a "Virtual Reality" that created by someone else... They control the public media:-
* TV & Radio stations,
* Newspapers,
* Magazines,
* Websites,
* even education books, etc..

As, people are making the best decision that they could, based on the information available to them... It would be hard for them to get back to basic fundamentals and principles after participating in simulated environment for too long. Such as keep watching the public media:- newspapers and TV programs...

" Many men are the victims of intellectual short-sightedness; and many take their own horizon to be the boundary of the whole world. ....
They are absolutely incapable of admitting the truth of anything they do not understand, and never suspect that they really understand nothing at all. They do not know that behind any explanation we may give of the phenomena of nature there lies the great unknown. They are satisfied with old formulas, by a mere change of words. ...
They think they understand." - "The Unknown" by Camille Flammarion
