Growing up I never heard of it. It’s crazy how well it’s been swept under the rug.

  Some years back, I decided to dig into stuff completely counter to what I'd learned growing up. And sure enough, most of it seemed really crazy, not reality-based at all. At first. But I kept reading, and sometimes I'd look up other--more mainstream--books to see if such-and-such was even true. Over the long haul, it really dramatically changed how I view... everything. It took a long time and a lot of reading, so I'm not surprised when I see people respond with disbelief and dismissal to things I (now) know are definitely true. After all, schools are generally operated by and supportive of some central authority or another (government, church, etc), so it's not really in their interests to teach us to question authority. Plus, reality is exhausting and sad.
