Time to think outside of the box

So i am currently reading 1491, which was highly recommended by Josh Clark of SYSK podcast. Well it was recommended many episodes ago and i have finally gotten around to read it. So Mann the author is discussing the Native Indian tribes of the america's Pre-Columbus. Well thinking about this deeper, how quickly we believe things, how often information is passed as truth and can be completely false. We seem to believe things are only as we perceive them as if nothing exist below the surface. Another book that might help me rethink a little of our history is Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong” by James W. Loewen which was also recommended.

But i really think it goes beyond what in history do we believe that is not really correct. What do we believe about ourselves, and the things around us that are fully true? Say are current government situation, if "We The people" "in order to form a more perfect union " would actually examine what we truly believe in(if we actually know what we believe) we might be able to form a more perfect union... If we would examine ourselves and get rid of the junk in us that doesn't fully match our character. I think it would lead to better marriages, better relationships, better friends, better employees, oh yeah and a more perfect union!

Enough of a ramble...
