As we struggle to "get to the next level" we need to go beyond a fact-based view of the world to a reality-based view of the world.

Most people assume that facts are the same as reality and that if they know a fact this means that they understand it. Every formally educated person knows that each of us is a member of the species which we call homo sapiens and could correctly provide thet correct answer if asked, but I am beginning to doubt if there is anyone who really understands what that means.

We lack a view of humanity that encompasses all of humanity. I don't even think we have a term that encompasses what that implies.
