Lately, many people have been bringing up “conspiracy theories” on YouTube and in drinking circles. They talk about the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and other Jewish capital controlling the world and monopolizing the right to issue currency, GHQ brainwashing, CIA spying on celebrities, Q Anon, the Illuminati, the Rosicrucian Society, and so on.
It is interesting to listen to these stories, but I end up thinking, “Oh, yes, but in the end, so….
Maybe one of them is true, but even if it is true, what can we realistically do?” If you ask the person you are talking to at a drinking party with great enthusiasm, the conversation usually ends there. In other words, it is just a story of imagination and fantasy.
Sometimes, as if sobering up, someone in the room will say, “It’s a democracy, so we have to go to the polls.
In other words, no matter how much we know about conspiracy theories, we, the common people, have no way to change the system of this world, which may be wrong.
There is even a conspiracy theory that even the elections are “rigged. And there is no way to confirm the fraud either.
Complaining about a world-systemic conspiracy theory may be a bit like trying to stab a B-29 bomber from the ground with a bamboo spear (although if you are an Olympic thrower, you might be able to hit one).
No matter how much you know about the B-29 bomber, no matter how detailed, how awesome, or how scary it is, it is meaningless knowledge if you cannot realistically counter it.
So, if the conspiracy theories out there are true, should we just sit back and endure such an irrational world system?
Some people argue that digital democracy, with its use of social networking and big data AI, has the potential to do just that. If each individual raises his or her voice on social networking sites, it will change everyone’s consciousness and create a popular will that will change the world. A new means of decision-making will one day be created on its own.
However, there is also a conspiracy theory that even the public will may already be manipulated and used (as mentioned in a short story by Shinichi Hoshi). The right way to fight, just as there is no right war in the world, may result in the act of killing oneself.
Again I ask: What is the right way to fight? So, then, what should we do…? What is the right thing to do?
Become a recluse and give up everything. “Don’t deal with such an impossible story, enjoy the life of bread and circuses, and think only about making a good living. “I will start a religious revolution with some religion or doctrine. Believe in a principle and rise up in arms. Establish a world federation. Become an anarchist and destroy the world. There are various means (these are just examples) and ways of thinking. These are just examples) and ideas. They are also a way of expressing one’s attitude toward conspiracy theories.
But in the end, they are all just a means to some conspiracy theory, some new system of control.
In other words, what I am trying to say is that when one decides to take action, he or she may be taken in by some conspiracy theory (story) and used.
My ideals are not that vague. I have a solid ideology, beliefs, and rationale. This is absolutely a good argument. Everyone who does not listen to this is a fool. There is no contradiction at all, and it is the good sword that conquers evil.
I think it all starts with the realization that “Oh, what I am doing may be just another conspiracy theory,” instead of assuming it to be so.
I am sorry to use a silly metaphor, but if the other side comes at us with a B-29 bomber, we should not use bamboo spears or the same B-29 bomber, but if they come at us that way, we should use a unicorn Gundam controlled by a Newtype to knock them down completely.
Unless we have that kind of difference in thinking and power, I don’t think we can ever win the existing conspiracy theories or change the system.
Of course, even if we win, it will be for nothing if the world becomes more suffocating, the gap widens, and the human race perishes.
See you later.
