A time not too long ago, all of the sentient beings on earth were in-tune with each other and on the same frequency.
Nowadays, we see many unconscious humans lost in the ego trap.
I'd like to start with the main reason I believe people can not let go of their ego. We were all taught throughout our life by the school system and our elders that their were authority figures that specialized in their specific fields that had the answers to everything. From volcanoes to dinosaurs, we can find some sort of highly ranked individuals or scholars in these specific fields of study. The problem with relying on authority figures like we all did as students (if you went through the public indoctrination system) is that they were put on pedestals as to make them superior than others. While I am not saying they weren't more versed in their studies than the student, I do see a problem with this form of idolatry. Since we all grew up idolizing the greatest philosophers and scientists as kids, we did not have the encouragement to seek our own conclusions to the phenomenon's the "greats" discovered or explained.
I came to this realization that the ego of many was shaped out of the current form of idolatry and consensus science taught when they were children. For example, if anyone has looked into the history of dinosaurs up to our modern day, their are holes in almost all of the "facts" relating to dinosaurs. When I question these fringe topics I am normally blocked from debating scientific facts about the topic because of the individuals ego. It is hard for people to question subjects like these that have been drilled into our heads as scientific facts. The dinosaur oatmeal in the grocery store, Jurassic Park, and hundreds of other cultural practices that involve dinosaurs are all built off the information you were given at an age before you were able to critically think or analyze information. Not only do I see problems with the topic of dinosaurs alone, but pretty much everything else we were taught as kids to be scientific facts. This may surprise most people but if we are coming from the perspective that history is written by the winners and the "winners" are still ruling over us today, we have no choice but to question everything.
I bring up the subjects that were taught in our government schools because I think they are one of the main things that handicap many people from having purely scientific debates that don't involve emotions. I am the type of person that questions everything, something that can not be done if I did not let go of my ego. Since we were taught that everything in life can be explained away by the professors and scientists, we do not seek answers ourself. The world becomes a much more fascinating place when you do not rely on a third party to filter and adjust your reality according to their doctrines.
I think the best way to solve the issue of the masses being ignorant to new information that results in cognitive dissonance is to break the ideology that one person is somehow greater than the next. This would solve the issue of mans ego today because it would allow the students to teach the teacher and the teacher to teach the students. When we are coming from a perspective that all of us are equals, including sentient beings, we will not have this blockage that deny's us to move forward and build a better future for all of us.
At the end of the day, we have to recognize that the ego is doing nothing but holding us back from bigger and better things. We need to understand the reality of our uni-verse and tap into the one verse we were all connected to in the past!
