A well-written argument Jeff. I think there are two things at play here. There's the necessary and useful distinction between wisdom and knowledge, and assuming that one is wise when in fact one's mind is only littered with facts, is folly. But maybe more to your point, turning away from inconvenient truths, evidence of reality, self observation and self knowledge in order to preserve "peace of mind" is not just a greater shame, it endangers us all.
