Needless to say the three wise monkey picture below, featuring the blind, the deaf and the dumb of the popular Chinese pictorial maxim (“see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”) is an ironic reminder of the actual prevailing cloud-cuckoo-landish mindset of humanity as a whole. A substantial, very far-reaching article (read quickly to let it sink in) exposing the main essential misconceptions many hold as absolute immoveable truths about the reality we live in.

Here is a list of 7 massive misconceptions many people possess but have usually never deeply questioned.
