Humans undergo evolution in thought that isn't present in other animals. This is what culture is: an animal adaptation that allows for larger groups.

But we've forgotten that culture has a purpose larger than any individual, so we become obsessed with making it serve our interests. This detaches culture from history. It's like the difference between sex and masturbation. We been wanking for thousands of years.

Truth? That shit doesn't exist. Everyone who's ever thought about it have been wasting a lot of time. You can't access reality, you can only make a map that's an approximation.
