The way in which we experience and interpret the world obviously depends very much indeed on the kind of ideas that fill our minds.
p. 399 paragraph 4 line 1
I like that this emphasizes the issue of education both enlightening, as well as being something that may for some, be detrimental. The intellectual quest of finding reason and purpose in the world is something all humans share, even if we dont realize it, and if what we already know about the world isn't fully completed in our minds, we will take big ideas that someone may conjure and percieve them as the truth.
This reminds me of the flat-earth society. The reason that people have begun to go along with this belief is because they do not know exactly what kind of world they are living in. With the unfilled knowledge of our world, these people will begin to question what we've been told and begin to find 'evidence' of what could be a completely different model than the one we learned in 3rd grade. And because these people look for only the facts supporting the flat-earth model and little against it, they will be locked into a confirmation bias that skews their judgement and fills the hole of information they do not understand.
