Since the real world reveals something else - countries that recover
some of the socially generated values are freer than those that don't -
that belief above requires an adept ability at denial, which humans are
good at. In fact, one psychological study found that the brain actually
devotes more energy into not knowing than it does into knowing. To
overcome that natural human tendency takes almost childish curiosity
into how things really operate.
