Resources?

It seems a teeny bit silly how satisfied we are with our minds clamped shut to different ideas.  How comfortable it feels to stay within the confined perspective of what we know instead of attempting to learn, even though it's undoubtedly uncomfortable.  I'm no different, but I just hope I can learn to question institutions, to maintain healthy skepticism, and to speak my mind despite accusatory and borderline aggressive opposition....very often from self-labelled "open minded" people.  If we can't question our imaginary cultural production, where will that leave us?  And even though things might be stable and oh-so-happy in our own lives, does that mean that we can continue our lifestyles, even if it comes at the expense of so many lives, rights, ideas, and resources?
