Some thoughts on research, learning, and perspective.
Researchers don’t like to research things that could criticize their colleagues.
The Feynman-technique of learning:
> Pick a topic you wanna understand and start studying it
> Pretend to teach the topic to a classroom
> Go back to the books when you get stuck
> Simplify and use analogies!
• If you wanna master something, teach it.

"The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single-player." -
The modern devil is cheap dopamine.
"If your opinions line up neatly with those of your friends and colleagues, they’re not your opinions."

No matter how impressive and official your authority, rank, or credentials are, you *immediately* lose credibility when you rely on them to make your point.
You're confused because you keep trying to apply logic to human behavior.
Once you accept that most of us are illogical and are more motivated by fear of loss and maintenance of comfort, then you'll get it.
