There are many mistruths that you may encounter in this life:
1) DNA determines our fate, what diseases we’ll get, and what limitations we’ll have.
2) The brain is hard-wired since childhood and new neural pathways cannot grow.
3) The universe is all there is.
4) That you need any kind of social organization like government or religion to be a peaceful contributor to society.
And 5) That any of those were lies.
You read that right. They weren’t lies. Nobody was trying to intentionally mislead you from the truth. They were simply doing the best they could with the information that was available at the time. It’s our job to ensure that we are updating our information and presenting the absolute best truth we can convey to the next generations. Do that.
