I find it interesting how people always feel excited with conspiracy theories and "what's beneath" . For example , some girl in class today started showing everyone a picture of an alien "who the scientists discovered" and he had the same cliche characteristics of the alien we know of. So everyone got excited, bla bla bla. Another time, our teacher was telling us about Nibiru ( the 2012 thing) and she said it came before and that most likely it was when the safinet nouh thing happened. The whole class was "OMG!!!11111!!!1111 oneoneone!!!11 ," I had a little cringe within. That's just to show how naive we sometimes look when we try to pretend we are getting involved in a conspiracy theory, makes our ego higher and think we are in some spiritual state that has not yet been explored. That was just an introduction for my usual reaction when it comes to such things but for your topic, I can understand what you say, but personally let me tell you something. Some of the biggest events in history have been mostly questioned and denied. For example, the moon landing, the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, etc. It is natural for humans to do so. Just look at the reaction of a person when he hears for the first time some "story" about how the holocaust ACTUALLY never happened, or the moon landing never happened and that it was fake. He would rather go with it and start telling the same story over and over again because it would make him "proud" and "important" to be opposing a happening or theory that even the most hardworking scientists researchers had approved rather than maintain belief in it. Yes questioning is important , events can go on and if you don't question them , they would become reality even if they were fake. but let's just calm down when it comes to the wonders and supernaturals of the world. What civilization is less than 2000 years old! That's a very small time that is totally negligible It means nothing in front of the billions of years. I think we have experienced a lot during those 2000 years to be honest from all physical disasters that had happened, and if you want to take it in proportion to other disasters that stuck the earth, it takes more than 2,000 years for a totally destructive event to occur, so when it happens we should realize that it was just because we live how we were thinking in an uncomprehensive and limited way. Moreover, humans have not yet completely discovered how things work on earth. There are things that might become an everyday fact few years ahead , which now we consider wonderous.
So in short, our marriage, college, work, technology, etc was our road to civilization. If a person lived a billion years or disasters were way more abundant then they are in an average of 80-year life span we would have accustomed to that fact and that knowledge and that would have probably affected the afforementioned details of life: work, marriage, etc.
Interesting thing, is that we as humans ignore or underestimate what earth and even the whole world is about and what it is capable of doing. But when disaster strikes, you will see most population thinking it was some purpuseful event that had no warning, no physical explanation and even no connection to reality. Yes we live by the day.Why should we care about something we don't live for ? Also, I am really interested in knowing why you think it's the real world and marriage, work, etc is not. Yes the ultimate reality is the whole world and its wonders, but do you think a human has been imposed on to forget about them and rather look for his own interests in life ? I don't think so; it was the natural thing to happen. Humans have to adapt to a way of living and not just wait for the next metereoride to strike. In a way, we have learned to balance between both realities.
