That pattern of thought has been holding us back for millennia. All of the absurd aspects of human life are not required. The fundamental premise of this book is that it is absolutely \u003cem\u003enot \u003c\/em\u003enecessary that mankind's existence be plagued with all of the nonsensical behaviours that make human life something that is often just endured. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rather common belief, reinforced by conditioning handed down to us, is that we are aberrant by design. That is a disastrous misbelief. The disruptive elements of human existence are not a necessity. We can live a life that is worth living as a race and as individuals: with reason. Unreason is a legacy, not a necessity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a single misconception embedded in our subconscious that undermines everything we attempt. It needs to be recognized, acknowledged, and removed. Once it is, we will have removed a major obstacle to achieving maturity as a race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe question that needs to be asked is why is it that humanity is so irrational, brutal, and violent? That is the first, most important question. The answer will surprise you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mike Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036120367344,"sku":"9780997141207","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780997141207_p0.jpg?v=1763955308","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780997141207","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
