The Reason This World Feels Somewhat Fake

Recently, more and more people have been having this feeling.

Something is wrong.
No one is saying anything wrong.
The logic holds up.
The explanations are sufficient.

And yet,
it feels somewhat fake.

It doesn't feel like someone is intentionally deceiving us.
It's not a conspiracy theory either.
It's just a feeling that reality itself
has a thin veil draped over it.

There is a reason for this sense of discomfort.

The world is not made of "lies"

First, as a basic premise.

This world is
not lying out of malice.

It's not that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes,
nor are they trying to hide the truth.

It's just that,
that is how the structure is..

The society we live in
has evolved by prioritizing "making things easy to understand."

Things that can be explained.
Things that can be defined.
Things that can be measured.
Things that can be compared.

These were originally
nothing more than convenient "guidelines."

But, before we knew it,
the guidelines became the substance itself.

Things that start to drift the moment you put them into words

Words are convenient.

They can create a common understanding,
they can explain things,
and they transmit information quickly.

But at the same time,
words have a decisive flaw.

If you don't trim away the essence, it doesn't become a word.

・Titles
・Roles
・Genres
・Labels
・Correct/Incorrect

These were created
to understand the world.

But now,
they are used not for understanding, but
for reassurance.

The moment someone says, "This is such and such,"
people stop thinking.

They feel like they understand.
They feel convinced.
And then, they stop feeling.

At this moment,
the essence is no longer there.

The reason why discomfort increases as correctness increases

The world today is very correct.

There is evidence,
there is logic,
there is a basis,
and there is accountability.

That is precisely why
it is suffocating.

As correctness increases,
people begin to doubt their own senses.

"But, if you put it that way, I guess you're right."
"Maybe it's just my imagination."
"It has been explained properly, after all."

In that way,
the discomfort is left behind.

But the discomfort does not disappear.

Because,
discomfort is not a mistake, but a perception of a misalignment.

The true nature of why this world looks "fake"

That is why you begin to feel this way.

・Even though they should be telling the truth, I cannot trust them
・Even though it is not wrong, it does not resonate
・Even though it is explained, I cannot be convinced

That is
not because the world has become a lie.

It is because it has become a world that has been shaved down too much.

In order to make it easy to understand,
shaved,
shaved,
and as a result of shaving it down,

The "space to feel"
The "parts that cannot be put into words"
The "certainty that cannot be explained"

hardly remain at all.

We perceive that void
as a sense of "fakeness."

The choice not to speak

That is why
there are people who dare not to speak.

They do not explain.
They do not define.
They do not summarize things to make them easy to understand.

That is not
because they are secretive
or because they are trying to be pretentious.

It is because they know that in this world, the moment you put something into words, its essence becomes a lie.

Not speaking
is not an act of running away.

It is a choice made to preserve.

If you are feeling a sense of discomfort,

it is not
because you are dull
or because you lack understanding.

It is quite the opposite.

It means that within a world that has been whittled away,
you still possess the "power to feel."

You do not need to search for answers.
You do not need to reach a correct conclusion.

There is just one thing I want you to remember.

The reason this world looks a bit fake is not
because you have seen through the lies.

It is because you remember, somewhere deep down, the world as it was before it was whittled away.
