An example is humanity's collective conceptual prison. And the strange thing is: people love their prison cells. It gives them a sense of security and a false feeling of "I know".

Humanity suffers no more than its examples. Of course, every blind belief eventually collapses, because reality reveals its lie sooner or later. But while the main mistaken conception exists, there is time to replace the old example with a new one.

What is this basic mistaken conception? Identification with thought.
