you tube - The beyond within

It is frightening to think that people will dismiss you and anything else that they don't understand as long as they come together in groups in size enough to convince themselves on the validity of their reason simply due to numerical superiority.

Who determines the legality of alcohol and nicotine and cough syrup and whatever else, and dismisses the others? Who on the other hand determines that anything is bad for you anyway? If not scientifically proven, why do people heard and dismiss things that they do not understand. Sure, it may be idealistic to hope that a culture without secrets will prevent the next opium war, but shouldnt history be re-looked at, and just because it is related by genre, does not mean it is related in experience and result?

Sure, in the hands of a total nitwit, it will be a total disaster, but does anything else differ? Conformity may not be the answer, but as for now, it might be the easiest solution.
