When I think of the word esoteric I think of knowledge that has been purposely restricted to a small group. The purpose for this is possible to hide the facts from us in order to maintain a leg up. Human nature is to keep people guessing and hide details that would otherwise make for a more even playing field. I also understand the comfort that comes along with ignorance. It is too easy to stay blind, not look deeper into issues that raise a red flag, but then again that would take some effort. With the struggles that play out daily just to keep one's head above water, exhaustion most time will prevail. I really believe that is exactly what our government wants. It is easier to herd the uninformed, exhausted, and dependent masses.

Yes, a focus on survival means not much thought it paid into deeper thinking issues, since there isn't much time nor the will to put in the effort to do the thinking. And so things stay at the are channeled to be by those who engineer and move society behind the scenes. But ppl have plenty of time to watch shows, movies, and especially play games that are the worst distraction and escape from reality and doing something to better our lives.
