Which is what I was getting at when I differentiated between individuals (who get it) and groups (who are much more stubborn).

My solution to the worlds problems is to wait for humans to evolve the next level where our psychic minds will all be in tune, and everyone can read everyone's mind. Maybe 2012 is that, or not.
There will be no more misunderstandings when everybody knows what everybody knows. There'll be no need for debates about politics or religion or conspiracy, everyone will know all the information and all the arguments and see what's the truth from all of it.

Maybe that's the spiritual enlightenment you're talking about in option 1? Which would mean that those who currently know about free energy would inevitably end up sharing that knowledge with everyone else whether they liked it or not.
Also, all religious people will be faced with knowledge of those who know the truth about how each religion is flawed, and all will fall, and humans be free.
