Summary: Our minds are machines, products of society. They go as the media generally tells them. Though we think, maybe in the back of our minds, that we humans are superior, we are simply the product of what was being created by the media.
It just happens that a few people have strayed from the herd only slightly enough to see some things in a more "honest" way that others have not. Though their minds are just as self-centered as ours, they have not been as socially trained as us, and can see things in a different way.
A lot of this relates to Freud's iceberg theory. We have uncovered only a small amount of unconciousness. Karl Mannheim seems to relate back to Johnathon Culler though with his social sphere and where influence comes from.
