Living with Doubt: For the Recovery of Narrative and the Regeneration of Education

Introduction

Why Speak of Doubt Now? — Amidst a Flood of Answers

We currently live surrounded by a flood of "answers" that overflow the world. If we access the internet, "seemingly correct" answers to every question are presented instantly, and on social media, someone's assertive narrative is spread along with a storm of pros and cons. Search precedes thought, empathy leaps over deliberation, and emotional conclusions circulate as "justice." Under these circumstances, the "power to doubt," the "power to suspend judgment," and the "power to keep questioning" that we should have originally possessed are quietly, yet surely, weakening.

But is that really okay?

The starting point of this essay lies in this question.
Are we able to "continue holding onto doubt" more than we are able to "know the answer"?
And, in what form have we lost the power to hold doubt?

In particular, this problem is serious in Japanese society.
While the "respect for the individual" and "critical thinking" advocated by postwar democratic education appear to exist institutionally, in reality, children have been trained to "read the room" rather than hold doubts, and have been raised to be better at "guessing the answer that fits the atmosphere" than at asking questions. In this country, where the culture of philosophy and religious dialogue is thin, "continuing to think" is often avoided, leads to exhaustion, and is easily linked to isolation.

As if to take advantage of that, in recent years, cult-like discourses that provide "easy-to-understand answers" have been flowing in under the guise of education and enlightenment. Borrowing the names of self-help, awakening, spiritualism, anti-vaccination, and developmental support, devices that dominate the "void of doubt" are expanding.
Young people who have been robbed of the power to doubt are drawn to "believable stories," and eventually even come to mistake the abandonment of thought for an "autonomous choice."

That is precisely why we must dare to speak of "doubt" again now.

This essay re-examines doubt as a condition for the establishment of the "self" and the "subject" in modernity, and sheds light on its loss in Japanese society and the institutional structures lurking in its shadow—especially cult-like discursive devices and institutional sorcery. Then, resisting the "flood of answers," it explores the possibilities of education and the regeneration of narrative that affirms the continued holding of questions.

Holding doubt is not a weakness.
It is the first step toward recovering one's own narrative.

Chapter 1

The Power to Hold Doubt: An Intelligence That Lives with "Not Knowing"

When did people become unable to endure the state of "not knowing"?

Modern society demands speed above all else. Desires such as "give me an answer quickly," "give me the correct answer immediately," and "give me a sense of conviction right away" have permeated education, news, social media, corporate activities, and every domain. In such a society, sustaining a state of "not knowing" is considered lazy, inferior, and is excluded. Doubt is equated with anxiety and is processed as a "problem that must be solved quickly."

However, the "power to hold doubt" has actually been the core of subject formation since the modern era, and was a condition for being free. Not rushing for an answer, but continuing to hold questions within oneself. Comparing the narratives of others with one's own experience and living through time without answers. This difficult intellectual endeavor is what has led us to become free and independent personalities.

◉ 1.1 The Ethics of "Doubt" in Modern Thought

In the 17th century, Descartes stated, "I think, therefore I am"—this passage is a symbolic statement of the relationship between skepticism and the self. For Descartes, the act of "doubting" was an opportunity to cut himself off from external authority and return to his own inner self. He tried to doubt everything in the world once and reconstruct it from there. There, "having one's own thoughts" was required before the answer.

Kant also stated, "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity." This means escaping from a state of being subordinate to the discourse of others and abandoning the act of doubting. Exercising reason and taking responsibility for one's own judgment. This also presupposed the "power to continue holding doubt."

And in the 20th century, Hannah Arendt stated in her "Denktagebuch" (Thinking Diary) that "thinking is the dialogue between me and myself." It means not answering immediately, but continuing to question internally. Thinking is an "unspoken narrative" that continues in silence, an endeavor of continuing to struggle while keeping the voices of others within oneself. She warned that totalitarianism, like Nazism, arises from "not thinking." She argued that the lack of thought brings about the most serious crisis.

What these thinkers saw in common was the recognition that "holding doubt and refusing to answer immediately" is the foundation of human freedom.

◉ 1.2 The Possibility of an Education that Nurtures "Doubt"

Originally, education should have been an endeavor to cultivate a personality capable of "continuing to question."

Liberal arts education and philosophical dialogue in the past did not demand immediate answers. Rather, they created a space where we could "think together about what we do not understand, while leaving it as something we do not understand." Instead of teaching children the correct answers, the goal was to foster the "ability to live with questions." Therein lay the fundamental ethics of education.

However, in today's educational settings, this time-consuming form of education is increasingly being neglected. The "ability to provide quick answers" is considered a sign of excellence, and in every aspect—university entrance exams, careers, and policy—the "ability to answer immediately" is demanded. For children, **not having an answer is perceived as a "loss," "inferiority," or even a "nuisance."**

But is that truly education?
The power to speak is not the power to answer immediately, but something born between doubt, silence, and dialogue.
A narrative nurtured over time without being spoken—is that not the true proof of a subject?

◉ 1.3 Doubt is the "Seed of Freedom"

Doubt is by no means a symbol of anxiety or confusion. It is an entrance to a world yet unseen, an opportunity to listen to the voices of others, and above all,an inner dialogue for facing oneself.

Doubt is certainly painful. But avoiding it is precisely what creates subordination to authority, dependence on narratives, and enslavement to systems. Only those who can continue to hold onto doubt can retell the world with others, challenge systems, and create new ethics.

That is why we must reaffirm the act of living with doubt.
Not rushing for answers, not having our narratives stolen, and living our own inner questions.
That is the recovery of narrative and the first step toward the regeneration of education.

Chapter 2

A Society with "Answers That Are Too Fast": The Transformation of Educational and Media Discourse Structures

Our society has now entered an era where the "immediacy of answers" is prioritized in every domain. The speed of information consumption accelerates daily, and even for complex questions, short, emotional, and assertive "answers" are demanded. Yet, as a result, we are caught in a paradoxical structure where the faster the answers become, the shallower the questions become, and the poorer our narratives grow.

◉ 2.1 The Institutionalization of Correct-Answerism and the Transformation of Educational Settings

Post-war Japanese education has specialized in training for "questions with correct answers" at the primary and secondary education levels. In particular, the ranking system based on achievement tests, entrance exam systems, and deviation scores created a structure that forces competition over the "speed of thought" and the "speed of reaching the correct answer."
What was emphasized there was not the "ability to hold onto what one does not understand," but "pretending to know the correct answer," andthe speed of the answer rather than the depth of the question.

In many classrooms, a "child who asks questions" troubles the teacher, while a "child who remains silent" is evaluated as being able to "read the room." There is an atmosphere where a child who silently processes given information is considered "excellent" rather than a child who disrupts the class with questions. In this way, children gradually internalize the feeling that **"doubt is a nuisance" and "not knowing is shameful."**

Furthermore, under the guise of "proactive, interactive, and deep learning," educational reforms have introduced formal active learning but have failed to introduce essential "conflicts of questioning" or "dialogical tension." As a result, children only improve their skills in"pretending to approach" the pre-assumed correct answer.

◉ 2.2 SNS and the Discourse Economy: Acceleration Toward "Narratives We Want to Believe"

Outside of education, the "culture of immediate answers" continues to expand.
In particular, SNS has become a space where assertive and aggressive discourse is the target of engagement, making it extremely difficult to visualize complex discussions or long-form questions.
Within 140 characters or short videos, the act of "stopping to think" is structurally disadvantageous.

In this environment, people begin to react only to the "answers they want to believe." What algorithms optimize is the **"narrative that reinforces what one already believes,"** and discourse that presents different perspectives or complex backgrounds is excluded.

In such an environment, the very act of "thinking together while holding onto doubt" is lost.
People come to gain a sense of security and community bysolidarizing with others who hold the same conclusions and excluding those who hold different conclusions, rather than sharing questions.

◉ 2.3 Eliminating Doubt and Simplifying the Spirit

In such a society, doubt is often perceived as a symbol of "anxiety," "powerlessness," or "defeat." Especially in Japanese society, which is dominated by theories of self-responsibility and success stories, "the self that is lost," "the self that cannot make decisions," and "the self that cannot reach an answer" are easily discarded as weaknesses.

For this reason, many people feel that they "must not doubt," "must be convinced," or "must pretend to believe." And so, they suppress even their own doubts and become dependent on narratives that provide a sense of security.

This structure is repeated in educational settings, in the media, in the self-help industry, and in the cult-like discourses that will be discussed later.

When a human being stops "doubting," they are no longer free. They become an existence that is subordinate to the narratives of others and that seals away their own narrative.

◉ 2.4 The Loss of the Ethics of "Slow Narrative"

"Speaking slowly," "continuing to speak while things remain uncertain," and "searching for one's own words while dwelling on the words of others"—these are all time-consuming endeavors. And that is precisely the intelligence necessary for freedom and coexistence.

However, today, such "slow narratives" are mocked, discarded, and considered inferior. What appears in their place are "narratives that sound like correct answers" and "empathy businesses with a definitive tone."
The fact that this has become dominant in every field, regardless of whether it is education, media, self-improvement, or religion, is itself a symptom of a society that has lost doubt.

That is precisely why we must reclaim "slow narrative" once again.
Not answering immediately. Not being too convinced. Speaking about one's hesitations. Sharing questions.
That is the starting point for the recovery of narrative.

Chapter 3

Cult-like Structures Creeping into Education: The Mass Production of "Children Who Do Not Doubt"

The word "education" has become more ambiguous than ever, and at the same time, it is in crisis. Amidst an environment of distrust in public education, the collapse of the family, the exhaustion of teachers, the rigidity of the system, and the anxiety of parents—under the pretext of "thinking about the child's future," the phenomenon of discourses and organizations with cult-like structures invading the educational sphere is accelerating.

These are not merely "suspicious groups." They take more clever and socially acceptable forms. The establishment of school corporations, the opening of free schools, developmental support businesses, support for improving self-esteem, and anti-establishment educational movements—all appear cloaked in the narrative of "for the sake of the children" and "for the sake of free learning."

However, the reality is nothing other than "sealing away doubt, fixing the narrative, and robbing one of the freedom of thought."

◉ 3.1 Enclosing with Narratives of "Awakening" and "Mission"

Recent cult-like educational businesses avoid blatant religious overtones and are dressed up in pleasant-sounding slogans such as "education," "recovery of humanity," and "true freedom." Particularly dangerous is the structure that speaks to children using empowerment discourse such as "You are special," "Awaken to your true self," and "This learning has a mission."

Here, "doubting" is already seen as betrayal. "Hesitating" is considered low consciousness, "criticism" is treated as the behavior of the unawakened, and even self-reflection is excluded as projection of karma or negative vibrations.
In this way, the child is robbed of the words to speak and is not even allowed to harbor doubts within the "given narrative."

◉ 3.2 Happy Science Academy, the "Parent Gacha" Discourse, and Conspiracy Theory Education

Let me give an example.
There are educational institutions like Happy Science Academy that, while placing clear religious thought at their core, advocate for "results-oriented" and "human resource development" that can respond to entrance exam competition and spiritual theories. They claim to "save children who cannot be saved by existing schools," and by not putting religion at the forefront, they capture the anxieties of parents while systematically enclosing the children's narratives.

Also, in recent years, the discourse of "saving children who drew a bad 'parent gacha'" has been circulating, and self-help schools that jump on this bandwagon, as well as anti-vaccine, conspiracy theory, and spiritual education, are capturing both parents and children. While they claim that "the country and schools cannot be trusted," they strongly demand that one must believe only in the "truth" that they provide.

What is common to such a structure is that it is not an 'education of thinking,' but an 'education of believing.' And what lies beyond believing is the relief that 'it is okay to abandon thinking,' and the price paid for this is the abandonment of one's own language accordingly.

◉ 3.3 The Structure of Sealing Doubt: The Diversion of Education as Institutional Sorcery

This phenomenon of the cult-like nature of education is not merely an individual issue, but is connected to a deeper institutional structure. It is precisely the situation where education functions institutionally as a 'device that prevents speaking'.

Originally, education should have been a place to learn to 'doubt.' It is a place to face one's own experiences, raise questions, discuss differences with others, and acquire the strength to endure the absence of answers. However, public education, having fallen into institutional fatigue, has failed to fulfill this and is becoming hollowed out as a 'transmission device for standardized correct answers.' This creates room for cult-like educational businesses to enter.

And so, children are raised without being able to 'speak.' They are formed into beings who do not have the power to harbor doubts, but merely trace 'someone else's answers.' What is mass-produced in this way are 'children who do not doubt,' and in the future, they will become 'sovereign citizens who do not speak.'

◉ 3.4 The 'Mask of Education' as a Device for Sealing Narrative

The most troublesome aspect is that this cult-like structure wears the 'mask of education.' Formally, there is a curriculum, there are subjects, there are lesson plans, and there is an educational philosophy. But the content is not 'recovery of narrative' or 'freedom of thought,' but the 'internalization of obedient narrative.'

There, the phrase 'use your own words' is replaced by 'find the "correct words" within you,' and ultimately converges into a structure that says, 'recite this narrative.' In other words,
education reverses into an institution that strips away narrative while maintaining its outward appearance.

It is not education, but institutional brainwashing, and is nothing other than institutional sorcery.

◉ 3.5 Re-questioning the Depths of Education for the Recovery of Narrative

As we have seen in this chapter, the reality that 'children who do not doubt' are mass-produced in the name of education is not just an educational problem. It is a problem that shakes the very foundation of democracy, as the entire society is forming 'subjects without questions,' 'citizens who cannot speak,' and 'nationals who are silent about self-responsibility.'

To resist such a situation, it is necessary to fundamentally re-question 'what is education.'
It is not about the design of the system, but the reconstruction of the ethics of narrative, and the regeneration of a space that supports the power to speak with doubt.

In the next chapter, to explore that possibility, we will return to the intersection of education and religion and search for a path toward the recovery of narrative.

Chapter 4

To Recover Narrative: The Intersection of Education and Religion

Harboring doubts, turning them into narrative, and living while sharing them with others.
These were originally the activities of 'education,' and at the same time, they were deeply related to the realms of 'religion' and 'spirituality.' Once, religion was not something that forced absolute answers, but rather a form for 'continuing to face questions without answers.'
However, in contemporary Japan, both are malfunctioning—education is stained with correctness-ism, and religion has fallen into institutional sorcery or exclusive faith, and the 'space to hold questions' has been lost.

In this chapter, we return to the primordial intersection of education and religion and re-question what is necessary for the recovery of narrative.

◉ 4.1 Original Religion Was a 'Space to Live the Questions'

In contemporary Japan, the word 'religion' tends to be avoided, but historically, religion was wisdom and practice for living with 'questions without answers' and 'incomprehensible existence.'
In Buddhism, concepts such as 'ignorance,' 'emptiness,' and 'impermanence' functioned as forms that affirmed the unknowability itself, and in Christianity, concepts such as 'the silence of God' and 'response without response through prayer' assumed the absence of absolute answers.

What is important here is the point that 'enduring not knowing' was the starting point of faith. God does not answer immediately, and the meaning of life does not become clear. The strength to live in that uncertainty was the essence of religious spirituality.

However, current religious businesses and the spiritual industry avoid this fundamental uncertainty. Instead, they provide narratives with immediate effects such as "easy-to-understand answers," "stories of instant salvation," and "you are chosen," and have instead becomedevices that seal off doubt.

◉ 4.2 The "Religious Nature of Narrative" Lost by Education

Education, too, was once deeply connected to the act of "narrating." In ancient philosophical education, teachers and students would raise questions together and continue to explore "what has not yet been spoken" through dialogues without answers. In the Jewish tradition as well, exploring the intentions of God through question and answer was the core of learning.

However, modern education has lost this "religious nature of narrative" and has fallen intomanaged educationdominated by schedules, curricula, and evaluation metrics. As a result, narrative has transformed into "presentation technique," and is now evaluated only as "trained output" rather than an "inner voice."

From both religion and education, a **"space where silence, questioning, and narrative coexist"** has been lost.

◉ 4.3 Animism and the Wisdom of Silence: Rediscovering Japanese Spirituality

On the other hand, Japan has a unique tradition of spirituality. It is a culture that values sensitivity to pre-linguistic signs and the atmosphere of a place, a sense of being with nature and the dead, and the meaning that resides in "not speaking."

In an animistic worldview, narrative includes not only "human words" but also "the sound of the wind," "the clarity of water," and "the fact that the dead do not speak." Within this, there existed a spirituality ofliving with the world without fully articulating one's doubts.

What modern education and religion have lost—is it not this "narrative that exists with silence"?
Humans do not need to say everything. Rather, it is in the parts that cannot be fully spoken that the foundation of coexistence lies.

◉ 4.4 What It Means to "Narrate" Again: Common Ground Between Dialogue and Faith

To narrate is not to "assert what one knows."
It is to "continue to hold what one does not know, while it remains unknown, together with others."

Philosophical questions, religious questions, educational questions—they were allnarrative techniques for "living with doubt". That is why education and religion are not inherently opposed, but need to complement each other.

・If education is a place to teach the "sustainability of thought,"
・Religion is a place to support the "continuous questioning of meaning."

Both should aim not for the abandonment of doubt, but for coexistence with it.

◉ 4.5 The Recovery of Narrative Means Guaranteeing the "Freedom Not to Believe Immediately"

The crisis of modern society is not that the "freedom to believe" is being threatened.
It is the opposite.The "freedom not to believe," the "freedom to doubt," and the "freedom to withhold judgment" are what are in crisis.

The "recovery of narrative" is not just about speaking. It is a stance ofinternalizing silence until one can speak, and speaking together with what cannot be spoken. And for that, it is necessary to regain a "space that affirms doubt" in the depths of the institutions of education and religion.

We have been too hasty.
That is why we should regain a space where we do not rush our narratives, do not rush for meaning, and do not rush for certainty.
That will be the regeneration of narrative, the regeneration of education, andan ethical investment in the future.

Chapter 5

Education as an Ethics of Doubt: As a Counter-Axis to Institutional Magic

The term "education" once meant "the formation of the individual."
It was not about creating human resources to serve the state, nor about fostering skilled workers to contribute to economic growth.The endeavor to cultivate a personality that possesses its own voice, lives its own questions, and can endure differences with others—that is the essence of education.

However, modern education has forgotten that ethic. And what made that oblivion possible isinstitutional sorcery.
An institution cannot exist without a "narrative" of legitimacy. Yet, when that narrative becomes hollow from within and no longer allows for self-doubt, the institution begins to feign "infallibility" and views dissent as "hostility."
That is the structure of institutional sorcery.

In this chapter, I will clarify how institutional sorcery has swallowed education and excluded "doubt," and I will presenta strategy for rebuilding education that repositions doubt as an ethic.

◉ 5.1 Why Institutions Dislike Doubt

An institution is, by nature, a device for organizing ambiguity and providing stability to society. But once an institution becomes an end in itself and forbids the questioning of its legitimacy, it becomes nothing more than a "device for imposing correctness."

Holding doubt shakes the self-justifying discourse of the institution.
Therefore, the institution transforms, using education to foster "citizens who do not doubt."

• Education transforms from a place that teaches "how to ask questions" into a place that teaches "the path to the correct answer"

• Evaluation criteria are replaced by "obedience," "efficiency," and "the ability to read the room"

• Students who ask "Why?" are treated as difficult and become targets for exclusion

This is not merely educational degradation.It is the institutional structure itself that rejects the recovery of narrative.

◉ 5.2 Mass-Producing Silent Sovereigns—The Completed Form of Institutional Sorcery

The goal of institutional sorcery is not to force obedience through violence.
It is to make people stop speaking for themselves through the "invalidation of narrative".

• "It's useless to say anything anyway"

• "It's a waste of time to even think about it"

• "It's easier to adapt without disturbing the atmosphere"

This internal self-censorship is the institution's most powerful means of control.
In this way, people seal off their own narratives and begin to recycle "words prepared by someone else."
And,those who do not harbor doubt no longer even need to speak.

This is not the defeat of education.It is the completed form of education as the magical transformation of education = the sealing of narrative.

◉ 5.3 A New Starting Point: "The Ethic of Doubt"

To resist such a situation, we must reclaim a new ethical axis for education.
It is not "education that teaches the right thing," but "education that continues to think together with uncertainty."

To make doubt an ethic is to cultivate the following attitude:

• The power to re-question one's own thinking

• A stance of enduring the narratives of others, maintaining silence, and engaging in dialogue without haste

• Maintaining the 'freedom to never stop questioning,' even when no answer is found

This is not merely an intellectual attitude. It is a stance of character, a form of political resistance, and the root of a spirituality that resists institutional sorcery itself.

◉ 5.4 Reclaiming a 'Space for Maintaining Doubt' in Society

The regeneration of education does not happen only in the classroom. It is necessary to reclaim in society as a whole 'places where one does not need to believe immediately,' 'places where one can be together without speaking,' and 'relationships where silence is permitted.'

For example:

• Introduction of philosophical dialogue (Philosophy for Children, P4C)

• Practice of critical media literacy

• Re-evaluation of spaces for art, poetry, and religious silence

• Cultivating a culture that accepts those who have doubts not as a 'nuisance,' but as 'fellow questioners'

This is not so much educational reform as it is a redesign of the culture of narrative in society.

◉ 5.5 The Ethics of Doubt is the 'Gateway to Freedom'

Freedom is not 'having certainty.' It is
the ability to choose to live while holding onto doubt.

Narrative is not 'what can be spoken immediately.' It is
a stance of attempting to speak while still containing what cannot be spoken.

Education is not 'knowing the answer.' It is
cultivating the strength to live through a space where questions are shared.

That is why we must reclaim the 'ethics of doubt' in the field of education. If institutional sorcery seals off narrative, education must regenerate it. And the starting point for that regeneration is nothing other than the recovery of a space that 'allows one to keep thinking while not knowing.'

Final Chapter

Slow Education for the Future: Toward a Society That Does Not Rush for Correct Answers

Education is an endeavor that shapes the future. However, we have been far too hasty with the words we use to speak about the future. Under slogans such as 'correct education,' 'useful education,' and 'globally applicable education,' education has been accelerated, made more efficient, and standardized. In that process, the most fundamental and human elements of education—'continuing to hold questions,' 'accepting confusion,' and 'speaking with silence'—have become invisible.

The starting point of this essay lies in the loss of the 'capacity to hold doubt'.
In a society that rushes for answers, fails to share questions, and feels anxious about being different from others, people jump toward the 'answers they want to believe in.' What intervenes there are cult-like structures, conspiracy theories, or education as institutional sorcery. By providing the 'peace of mind of not having to think,' they all create a space that seals off narrative.

However, it is those who do not rush for answers who truly open up the future.

◉ Slow education is the practice of questioning together without rushing

Slow education does not mean delaying decisions.
It is an attitude of 'not rushing for meaning'.

・Why can't I answer this question immediately?
・Where does this sense of discomfort come from?
・Who is speaking, and who is silent?
・Why do I want to believe in this answer?

Instead of immediately closing off such questions, the practice of keeping them as they are and transforming them into words.
That is the concrete form of 'living with doubt'.

And this practice is not just an internal process.
It intersects with others, clashes with institutions, and creates friction with the community.
In other words, 'slow education' is also a circuit that changes society itself through narrative, empathy, and dialogue.

◉ From silent sovereigns to speaking citizens

A society where doubt is sealed off eventually becomes composed of silent sovereigns.
They do not possess their own words, internalize the narratives of institutions, and follow superficial discourse without even knowing what they believe in.

However, the moment one holds onto doubt and attempts to share it with others, one becomes a sovereign.
This is not an 'expression of opinion' in voting or policy selection, but a more fundamental act of self-confirmation: 'I have the legitimacy to speak'.

To speak is to participate in the world.
And to speak with doubt is the act of re-questioning the world together with others.

◉ Continuing to speak, while not knowing

The ethics of education for the future is not merely about conveying new skills or knowledge.
It is, rather, about placing 'speaking while not knowing,' 'not stopping dialogue even if no answer emerges,' and 'being with others amidst silence and conflict' back at the center.

We live in a world filled with questions.
In this world, it is not only those who rush for certainty who get closer to the truth.
Rather, it is those who do not stop their journey while holding onto doubt who expand the horizon of narrative.

Education should inherently be something that accompanies such human endeavors.

◉ In conclusion

The theme of 'living with doubt' is neither a mere theory of education nor a theory of religion.
It is a fundamental technique for each of us to recover our own narrative, avoid being swallowed by institutions, and continue to exist with others.

And this technique is slow.
It is not immediately useful, shows no visible results, and can sometimes disturb the atmosphere.
But that is precisely what becomes the clue to reclaiming the silence and freedom necessary for society.

Beyond the era of silent sovereigns, to a society of speaking citizens.
That very attitude of continuing to hold onto questions without answers will be the true starting point for narrative, education, and democracy.
