The Aeon of Ignorance

The "Truth." It is the most exotic of strangers; a stranger that, like all pariahs to our social-bound human DNA, invoke fear and, most importantly, rejection as a result of a potent insult to our most tenacious evolutionary baggage, the feeling of comfort. However, it's not my right to impeach comfort as a human traitor -- I savor the feeling as much as anyone else. But when presented with a conscious choice, I would rather take comfort in the Truth than find the Truth in comfort. Hence, Zeitgeist (embedded below) provides a rare, albeit small glimpse of the truth's ugly physique. While the film should not be mistaken as an unequivocal dossier of the "Truth," it certainly isn't any more fiction than the "reality" in which our societal ignorance embraces day after day. Now THAT is a conspiracy.
