The greatest irony...

Rubbish. Just a cop out. As usual, when you don't have an answer you post something like this. Hard to take you seriously.

Intrepid,

The phrasing of this question by you is a clear indication of your lack of comprehension of what Cyracuz is calling "enlightenment". The point is that we all tend to be "zombies" in everyday transactional mode in which individual "selves" negotiate ephemeral matters. In this arena, our "selves" are attracted to "charismatic selves" which can act as a substitute for our childhood dependencies. It is this vision of this arena which is the counterpart to "enlightenment" and transcendence of "self", but that vision is obscured by the vested interests of "self integrity" and its allegiences to the social network. In zombie mode we are not "without intellect", we merely invest it in ephemera. To "know" this is to see clearly that the insurance policies which maintain "self integrity" are issued by phony companies .

Intrepid

Not a cop out. Not rubbsih.

The information is out there, screaming in your face. If you chose not to see it from all of the abundant sources, then why should I assume you'll see it when I say it?

That's what I mean when I say that if you had the ability to know it, you would know it.
