The main thing that you realize once you become an adult is that you realize that adults are all liars. Everyone has been lying to you, both in the present and in the past. History is a history of deception.
It starts with the Santa Claus, and the Toothfairy or whatever mysticism is in the culture. Then of course Religion. Public school is a massive brainwashing operation. And then after you become an adult you are constantly deceived by Politics and the Media.
There is a massive mist of deception surrounding the entire human biosystem. Deception is literally everywhere.
Everyone is a liar, everyone is distorting reality to some degree, or “personalizing it” at the bare minimum. And reporting events become nothing less than fairytales and colorful imagination.
It’s almost like people love to be deceived, because subconsciously everyone is distorting reality to some degree.
It’s all the way from small everyday lies, to massive ones that are used by institutions for nefarious purposes.
History is Deception
Most of human history is deception. Certainly anything written that has been tainted by a human corruption is not really as it seems.
We have archaeological evidence, which can be retro-verified. But testimonial and written evidence is probably inaccurate to say the least.
There was no freedom of speech in the past (I still wonder whether there is today), but in the past certainly a person writing the truth could have been executed very easily.
So historians were coerced to write the bare minimum, and royal historians were definitely adding propaganda into the mixture as well.
Anything that can’t be backed by archaeological evidence is most likely false, just for this simple reason.
Let’s see what kind of events are we talking about:
The Noble Savage myth is the other, although this is a present day Marxist propaganda trying to rewrite the past to suit their Marxist narrative.
And there are smaller ones that come to my mind like:
- Columbus, who was a total fraud, he didn’t discovered America, it was already discovered way before him (not to mention he literally massacred many indigenous people there).
- Galileo was also a fraud, the Ancient Greeks knew thousands of year before him that the Earth is a globe (yet another religious deception).
- Edison might have stolen a lot of his work from Tesla and other unknown scientists, there is plenty of evidence to suggest this.
- Charlemagne the revered emperor of Europe whom the EU loves very much that they give out a Charlemagne prize, was a vicious tyrant who massacred many people (it’s like giving out a Hitler prize).
- Mother Theresa was a viciously evil person, not a saint
- Karl Marx, the hero of the Communists, lived an extremely immoral lifestyle, totally contrary to his work. He literally criticized wage slavery, yet he barely paid his own housemaid, and allegedly raped her….
There are just the things that quickly came into my mind, I am sure the deception is much deeper than this. It’s like how Orwell described the Spanish Revolution (and served as inspiration for his 1984 book ).
Orwell literally noticed that the Western Media totally ignored important battles during the revolt that didn’t suit their narrative, and literally invented battles and confrontations that never existed.
So I would not be surprised at all if half of the wars recored in the past, never even happened. How the hell can we know what the hell happened in Ancient Egypt or Babylon other than some text fragments that claim that things did happen, when they might have not.
Orwell famously said that:
”Those who control the past control the future, and those who control the present control the past.”
Any tyrant with sufficient influence (like the church for example) could have rewritten the entirety of the Ancient World in the Middle Ages to suit their agenda. And anyone (like the Brits) during in the Enlightenment could have rewritten a lot of things from the Middle Ages to suit their agenda.
So as I said, if it can’t be deduced from archaeological evidence, it might as well just didn’t happen.
Small Lies to Big Lies
And it’s not just these big institutional lies, but it goes down even to everyday conversations. I mean come on let’s be honest. How many of you have lied on a consistent basis to your friends, spouse or other family members?
I know I did, it’s kind of shameful to admit, but you really realize that that is just basic human nature.
For example my wife once tried a new makeup and hairstyle, she dyed her hair blonde and made it curly and put on a very colorful lipstick, painted her eyelashes and eyebrows, and the powder thing on her face, it was very weird.
She literally looked like a scarecrow, it was very ugly and repulsive, but we were going out dining in a restaurant, so what should have I said to her?
- Should I have admitted to her that she looks very ugly like that, and thus, she would be probably mad at me and not speak with me for a week?
- Or should I have lied to her and say that she looks very well?
Well as you guessed I choose the latter, I lied to her, and told her what she wanted to hear, and not the truth. The waiter in the restaurant also looked strange at her. Now maybe it was only strange for my taste, but definitely I didn’t liked her outlook in that form.
She has a beautiful brunette long natural hair, and I like her like that. There was no reason to dye it blonde, it was just very unpleasant for me.
Now I know that she doesn’t read my blog so I can admit this now. But really these are just small things and it happens every day. It happens to everybody.
So will people always tell the truth, or will they tell what others want to hear?
So the lies really spread like this, everyone lies something small, but often, and then sooner or later people will have a total distortion of reality.
Like if you lie to your wife or girlfriend once about her look, it doesn’t change much, but if you do so always, then she will have a total distortion of reality where she will think that she looks good in one way, but everyone else will not but only pretend that they do.
So if a woman that puts too much makeup on herself because everyone around her told her that she looks good that way, she will be much less attractive as a result of those lies.
The lies add up, and sooner or later people will live in a fantasy world as a result of it. Social Media just sped this up, as now every woman is being lied to there by potential courters.
Women are being totally deceived on Social Media, especially hot women, where ever male lies to them just so that they can get in their pants. It’s obvious.
And then males lie between eachother, especially in business relations. I don’t have to explain how many scammers there are in cryptocurrencies…
Conclusion
So deception is everywhere. Seeking the truth is probably the highest virtue out there. Uncovering the truth from the mist of lies and misdirections is definitely virtuous, especially if those lies are implanted there for nefarious reasons.
There are of course institutions active who’s entire business-model is based on deception. One being the media, the other being a political movement, and so on.
From the education system, to the TV, to the politician’s monthly speeches, it’s all deception.
So I admire and respect anyone who honestly seeks the truth, it is very honorable and virtuous to do so in my opinion.
