I suspect a lot of people have difficulty recognizing that what they believe about the world may not be representative of how the world actually behaves. I certainly do, frequently.
Like with politics, people think they need to go vote and march and stuff to effect change, but if you're willing to accept the idea that there are limits to your ability to perceive the world and your perceptions are misleading, you can pretty reliably go and see that isn't true.
You can also decipher deeper realities like you can basically put whatever you want on flat bread, or that you dadskf;'akse'wfaegqrwt;'lj'a fuck my brain. I'm asd I'm not sure what I was trying to say.

Sam Elliott voice: we used to make things in this country. Time was, a wall, was allowed to be a wall. If Kyle lost his CoD: MW II match, or mom forgot to get more Monster Energy, guess what? Broken hand, wall's fine.
And behind the plaster? Wooden slats.
UYgh I fucking hate lathe. You want to do anything? Literally fucking anything? Hang a picture? Run a wire? Check for mold damage? Anything? FUCK. YOU.
Yeah plaster is a whole different kind of creature from drywall. I fucking hate plaster.
