What if in our minds have got some unfixes, bugs, flaws, or they are not set for the proper work, and all that is misleading and misguiding us is the thing, a spot, that we can call "red herring".
When something is barrier our sight we can't see the picture wholly and fully, and we're trying to fix the image by taking that spot away. The same is for our else senses: if there's a bug in our ear, to put it out is the way to make us hear again.
Why not to think that the mind works as well as senses, plus to this, our brains (the most probable location for our mind) have been built on C-system, i.e. central nervous system? It seems to be obviously that minds have typical to senses work. Eating fat food or make ration to be uncompleted, or any other ration spoiling might make our brains work really bad. Are we not it what do we eat?
Moreover, "arriving" to this life we don't have the full "equipment", our bodies are needed in water, sleep, food, etc. Without the environment we're as good as dead. It's easy to say that we're all "the Earth addicts", without its goods there's no life.
So, all what we need to do is to get rid of that spots or to make them work well. And as soon as it's done (spots are taken out) everything will be fine, and the life will turn into the pure heaven.
Are there any spots like these? What are these spots? Maybe our food is fulfilled with herrings, and this leads our minds to the darkest sides of its abyss?

I must say that for last three or more months you've been saying many thoughts like one of the great philosophers. I am deadly serious. Maybe it looks not so obvious at the first sight to notice it, but stylishly, and a deep of thoughts, and impressions of them are what make anyone to confirm it. So, every next time it becomes a little harder to understand you (not in a worse sense of this word, but as one requires to be pretty skilled to get to these thoughts; I mean one needs to think deeper if one wants to understand). And your thoughts are actually, yeah, are what I cannot to disagree with. Something like that is what's really going on 'round here with almost everyone. Even to rub the wrong way the reality - or what we think the reality is (=our ontology; or the statistical sum of our visions of ontology) also might be important, and the tone (intonation) of our speeches, the colours of we use, the order of our messages, and on, and on are what do matters. We might not notice it all the time, but it matters. It's like a girlfriend who asks her boyfriend to be gentle or tender with her. Whisper(-ing) words, grades, shapes - are not less necessary than the rest stable, monolith, grounded things. Maybe the reality looks like this:
Thank you. The biggest threat to the human soul is conformity. But in Western societies over the past 50 years, conformity has not openly pushed on the individual. If it had been, it would have been easy to organise a rebellion against it. Instead, society has pretended as if it embraces non-conformity, diversity, and equality. But by defining in a simplistic way what diversity means, by narrowing it down to specific categories, like religion, body type, or whatever, the most important diversity, the diversity of thought, has been ignored.
I remember as a kid we were made to sing a song to praise the equality of races. Now that's by itself a good cause, but the lyrics stated: "On the outside we're different, but on the inside we're the same." And I realised that this is actually highly intolerant. If equality depends on that we're all the same on the inside, then there is no equality for those who genuinely do not think and feel according to the normality standard.
One positive thing about the time we're living in now, is that there is more diversity of thought than there ever has been for as long as I've lived. But this is highly unintentional, and largely due to how the Internet has become a medium for destroying consensus. There is no clear societal framework of thought anymore, so each individual is left in a void, having to build one for him/herself. -Which is a monumental task. People are thrown off the deep end, and I'd say it's the best thing that has happened for as long as I've lived.
I've seen the video before, and it does present well how the power structure of society treats the individual as having two purposes; Production and reproduction.
" The diversity of thought has been ignored" - Hell, I was right in my first paragraph in the previous comment. "On the outside we're different, but on the inside we're the same" - My opinion, is that for poets must exist higher standards to resume their thoughts and intentions. This line, as I highly agree with you, is really poor (especially the last sub-sentence). Yes, sometimes words are used in their plainer and simplier forms, and anyway "the same" is rather logical/math (i.e. abstract) category, than something intentional. For instance, here's a line for a famous american song ("16 tons", 30's?): Muscle and blood, and skin and bones,A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strongthat in my opinion, not the best way is telling about a hard worker (comparing him with a piece of stuff), but this what might've been taking into account in the line you've presented, I mean that we're all made from one stuff, like that we all have been made of clay. (And here's also, that I find to be important, that " the same" looks to be more tender, than clay, because clay might be different: more solid, more wet, etc, but "the same" strongly equals one person to another.) Maybe I'm wrong, but I guess that what have you noticed is that we're afraid to recognize our differences, and these differences are not bad, and it's not that what should be the obstacle on a way of relationship, right? If in inside we're the same so how can we measure it? If we take it for granted, well, it's just fine, but claiming it we may loose our intentions to investigate what is inside of each of us. The outter side is a formal only; yes, it is more, I'd say, human and more honest not to view much into the soul of each of us, but aren't there any other routes, than evil-intentions? Not only for evil purposes the cognitive science works. My father had a heart stroke, and it realized as a paralysis of the part of the brain, so now he's moving really slow, and a half of his body stays out of control. Seems the same illness is waiting for me, because among my relatives this sickness was shared. Anyway, the cognitive science can study the mechanism of how the brains work to fix some areas or to make another areas work instead of paralysis ones. "But this is highly unintentional, and largely due to how the Internet has become a medium for destroying consensus" - I do underline every your words here. I did think the same. I know I was guessing only. So, hopefully I wasn't alone with such a thought. Also, what I have to add to the last thought is that in my life it happened more often that bad companies (ugly crews) I had met more often, and the companies weren't grouped as a typical gangs, no, it was the ordinary society, but inside they were almost rotten. So, my fear of societies are most high. I don't think it implies that all the bad companies and any societies as well are bad. No it doesn't. But each bad company is a bunch of isolated individuals. The individuals, not the persons. I mean a mob (i.e. a short name for any bad society) as the whole contains its parts; while not a mob doesn't contain parts, it has the free members of it which not grouped, but united together with friednly, sincere relationship. And not a mob is built upon trust, love, peace, attention, honestness, etc.
