It is interesting how people wake up at different times, and discover that others were awake and ignored for years prior. It must be tough spending 30 or 50 years watching people slumber.

I really started to figure things out after the .com crash, and it has been a continuous learning process. But other people have been aware for decades before that. Everyone awakens in their own time, and it seems it's not possible to "wake" them until they are ready. Maybe the process is driven by something entirely different that we're (I'm) not aware of. Still, from my perspective, the process is accelerating. And maybe there's actually no way to stop it. That is the hopeful view I choose to believe.

I can recall instances where someone has pointed me to something, and I just brushed it off due to some cognitive bias, I was not receptive. Then later I find it on my own, when I'm in a more receptive state, and I remember, oh yeah, I ignored that before. I try to be more and more open-minded but I guess I can definitely see how I've been blinded by bias in the past.
