This concern could be a concern of everyone if Percy is correct in saying that everyone is blinded by the media and the media’s interpretation of things. I believe, that even if Cardenas did see “it”, or if Percy’s idea of “it” is a truth of life, no one in modern life would be able to view “it”. A high majority of humans alive today watch TV, read the newspaper or just read anything at all with any reference to anything. I would say everyone already has some perception of what an experience may entail. Therefore I more strongly believe that this is no concern to people alive today because almost the entire world has been discovered and someone has written about it and tourists have heard about what they are going to visit and students have heard about what it is that they are going to learn.

I like your discussion of the media, especially how everyone is affected by it. Though, it is a bit bleak to think about never experiencing “it”. However, it’s pretty much true.
