Were you also looking at them, like a video call?
I alluded to earlier that I think that the way the world is structured disallows people from their innate potentials and inner voice, and I think the noise is aggressive/proactive and are on many levels. This is one such example of the point -

I know you are into conspiracies, but a lot of the real conspiracies you will probably find in things that you would find a bore to wade through if I have any understanding of you - geopolitics, finance, law, espionage/intelligence (you indicated that your dad is boring as hell despite being some kind of Scorpio) etc. There is a lot of agency, propaganda and active manipulation of people's minds and bodies through psychological and other such means - you obviously know how pervasive marketing is, as even certain department stores are structured to encourage you to consume.
Everything might know, on some innate level, (the issue of the higher self), but it sure as **** isn't easily accessible to the waking consciousness. Do you see? Or else all these efforts and paths, and spiritualities and worships would not have been necessary for persons to unlike that intrinsic knowing within themselves.
What you say about exploring the world and such sound like Rousseau, yet I think that what may happen is that many would just stick within the instinctual side of their characters and not try to achieve anything "higher". Or do you think that the animal holds the key for us? (You speak a lot about the realm of the languageness)
