it's bigger than that.
humans looked to the skies and saw gods, and now? most people haven't seen the stars anymore. we, humans have killed those gods and removed the stars from the skies.
Even in recent movies, when people look at the stars, they are mostly not there anymore.
Do you really not see stars where you live? No constellations, no Big Dipper, no Milk Way?
in a clear sky, maybe 20 stars. barely constellations, definitely no milky way.
