The thesis is that Ignorance conceals the true beauty and wonder of all things.
For example: Thinking that stars are just bright beautiful dots in the sky is like thinking to yourself that a McDonald's Burger is made at McDonald's.
Yes, a McDonald's Burger is made at McDonald's, but do they own cows and make the meat there? Do they grow their own potatoes and instantly slice them and put 'em in the deep fryer? No! They get their meat from frozen packages, which came from distant farms. Same with the potatoes.
The same can be applied to the Stars in the Night Sky, they aren't just shiny bright dots that people gaze at with Awe, they are HUGE hot flaming balls of gas that are almost infinitely far away from us.
Understanding the things that amazes us, will amaze us even more! So don't be ignorant, or you don't get WOW'd!
