In history, our ancient ancestors knew that there was way more to life than could be perceived by the five senses. They knew there was way more going on in this world than they could understand or perceive.
As a result, they formed beliefs to fill in the gaps, some of which were ridiculous, some of which may have been on point.
As a reaction to this tradition, modern society has been pushed towards another extreme, the belief that the 5 sense world is the only thing that exists, or at very least the only thing worth considering.
Most modern people refuse to consider that there is more to the world than they perceive, and will ridicule any attempt to explain what exists beyond the five sense world.
Where our ancestors went wrong, was attempting to impose their beliefs about unexplained phenomena on other people. We should hypothesize about the world beyond the five senses, and explore the reaches of our imagination, but we should not seek to impose the results of this exploration on other people.
Instead, we should share these ideas with others, and carefully listen to their ideas.
In the world of five sense phenomena things can be studies and measured in such a way where there is an objective right or wrong answer, that can be argued. When it comes to extra-sensory topics, things are entirely different, this is the world of subjectiveness, where people are able to hold whichever viewpoint they wish, so long as they do not impose it on another person.
This imposition that has happened in the past, has pushed recent generations towards nihilism, because they associate any type of spiritual or extra sensory thinking with religious oppression.
