The idea of subjective idealism, and the subjective nature of our perceptions, are almost totally ignored in main society. People will often not budge about being wrong when it's inevitable that they will be wrong about some aspect of their belief. Not understanding that we can not truely grasp "truth" breeds all sorts of delusions that can lead to violence or disorder. So how do you educate a volume of people enough so that they will at least analyze themselves a bit more and accept that there is always something to learn and correct? It seems we are doomed if we cannot figure out how to see past our own misconceptions on a wide scale, the only reason it seems to have worked so far is that you have other people to point out your wrong.

You first two practically prove my point for me. Even in constant verbal communication, you only get the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding the person you are talking to. Here all we have is conventional language (not body language, inflection, etc.) and yet you already know all about me; who and what I am. You have put your foot in your mouth, but thats ok, we only communicate 7 percent with words anyways.

How do you perpetuate fundamentals of perception to the ignorant populous? By being the perfect example of perceptiveness and understanding.

People are all about themselves and this isn't neither bad or good, just is. When WE come at it from there side or point of concern the connection can begin. If they are all about themselves then we can share with them how they may begin to manifest wonders. How life gets easier for them, how they will be happier, less stress. How that we free ourselves with the change of or thinking. We pass this to them by not only by talking with them but by living it. Great Question!

I'm impressed with your attempt at seeming so "smart" by using big words, but first you must truly grasp their meaning and learn to use them correctly in a sentence. Second, your question is one of no answer, as there was no actually question.
Would you like to know how to reduce ignorance in the world?
Or would you like to know why people are stubborn?
Better yet, maybie your asking us how to convince masses that you are right and they aren't, first you must grasp the idea that you too my friend, may be wrong.
Please don't try to impress others by using language you don't understand and complicating your sentences to the point where they are not easily understood.
And i say this because you certainly do not normally use this type of language, at least judging by your previous answers and questions.

This concept of the subjective nature of perception is difficult to explain or show others. The person needs to be ready for the understanding to realize it.
Untill they are ready you are waisting your breath.
I'm afraid It will happen one person at a time.
Love and blessings Don
