That implies mental capacity though. If people can't grasp how it effects them, they live in ignorance so they can continue processing what's around them because that's their immediate struggle and they're not capable of reasoning that their surroundings are products of the bigger picture.

Still though, the will to do so (escape their ignorance) is just not there, good statement tho, lots of truth.

Ignorance is bliss, and "with the increase of wisdom comes sorrow" (and discomfort). Most of us don't want to go there, and hey, that takes work. Easier to go back to sleep (sometimes I'm tempted).

It's all rather fascinating actually.
