Thought experiment

If consciousness is a construct and we are collectively part of this construct then why do we consciously remain stuck? All one would have to do is change how we think. Then I guess the problem is how do you collectively change? How do we put aside the human EGO or the inherent selfishness and self-preservation of each individual in order to move forward? It sounds so easy on paper and I guess that's why there are a lot of books and philosophers telling us. Yin and yang, they're equal parts of people in society that preach the opposite. I always found funny those who preach non-conformity. I feel like the fact that you preaching not conformity is asking to conform to non-conformity. Funny eh, but in order to move society forward, we need to conform. This is all sounding very "culty". It's amazing what you can think about while in the bathroom 😂. I guess it also doesn't help that I'm watching Netflix changing your mind.
