Why the hate for wisdom?

I think positive change is effected more on small scales, where you know, people hearts open up and not because behaviors are dictated.

I think this gets to the essence of the issue. This is just my opinion, but I don't think the human race is all that evolved yet. There are too many people "sleeping" and "following" and looking outward and not inward. All authorities (religions, governments, the media, etc.) are supported by the masses of people who are looking for something outside of self to tell them what to think and do and say (though I don't think this compulsion is conscious, because almost everybody thinks they think for themselves).

This world right now is so full of conflict. I think Unity100's view of the US is interesting. The media here (which is of course dictated by ruling powers, the deplorable Koch brothers and their influence being part of that machinery) certainly is having a heyday spouting all sorts of BS. The whole political left/right is nonsense to me, because it looks like one big petty game (to me), where the politicians within it are so compartmentalized at best thinking they are working within a real system, and manipulative at worst where both sides of the aisle are working toward the same thing—maintaining control over the masses. And most of the masses are sleeping.

But they are sleeping in part because they are being manipulated into sleep. Still, there is personal responsibility. And to me, that is the very bottom line. Though we need laws as a race of unevolved beings so we don't destroy each other nonsensically, ultimately each individual must awaken to his or her own truth and self-acceptance (not that which is being told to them), and from that will flow the way the individual treats others.

There is, in addition, the concept that the closer you get to 2D, the more a human would be influenced by predator/prey behavior, feeling safer with "the herd." As a group of entities evolving consciously, there are "elders" "adults" "juvies" "children" and "newborns" in 3D/4D (I don't pretend to know where we actually are along the evolutionary timeline). Staying with the herd, fitting in, and going along with the current would be subconsciously vital to those operating from the predator/prey survival mindset.
