Thanks for the response! As for that sentence you mentioned, that was a typo. I fixed it and it now reads:

“The future has failed to live up to the promises of our parents and we have meekly accepted that there is no greater purpose to life beyond that which we can squeeze out while we’re young.”

Hopefully that makes more sense, but if it doesn’t let me know.

As to your point about not being access reality directly is well met and I became aware of the perception problem not too long ago. It’s at the core of the problems we’re wrestling with today, and as technology continues to progress exponentially and hyperreality starts to usurp our traditional reality, they will only get worse.

You may be right that bridging the gap could prove to be impossible, and I’ve already experienced some of that abuse you mentioned, but maybe instead of a gap it’s actually a peak—one that requires effort to remain atop of and that too many people have fallen off to one side or the other. By getting people to talk to each other and go through the difficult task of working towards the truth in a cooperative manner, we can climb back up to the heights we’ve fallen from.

Or perhaps we’ll just have it out in another one of them world wars and be done with it.
