I did not write that article but i will comment on what you said. The extent of the social conditioning that we have subjected to is simply mindboggling. The social mechanisms of the family,education system, friends and the media has been instrumental in perpetuating layers and layers and layers of illusions. The self denial, racism, and gender discrimination is at the foundation of all the worldly ills that are observed today.
The architects of the change are those that have experience and knowledge of self. It is only through this that holistic change can be brought about. Also people can never develop or progress and yet remain ignorant of history.
Where? Everywhere.....When? NOW.....How? in truth and justice.
