What bias and pride? Human v. Chimpanzee bias?
Sort of. In the grand scheme of things we are but 1 of many species on 1 of many planets orbitting 1 of many stars in 1 of many galaxies. That being the case how do things like royalty, subjugation and religious division exist if not for a complex and biased view of history?
If I recognize these realities, and these systems still exist because so many other people don't recognize these realities due to the way they were taught the history about themselves and "their" people, what's the most true, most interesting place to start more humans on the road to recognizing reality?
The only answer as to why more people aren't asking this same thing that I can think of is a rather sad state also... there's more money in keeping our neighbors and countrymen ignorant, anti-intellectual and anti-rational.
Though it wasn't purposeful, I'm glad this discussion started so broad as I think it aids in setting up a perspective.
