Well,
this is only a hypothesis...
I have no reliable evidences, only clues and conclusions below come
from deduction and “elimination of impossible solutions”, but explain
some strange phenomena in our history.
So, probably:
Our history is programmed by some external (alien) civilization.
They use a scientific theory that explains laws of evolutions of
societies (and systems in general).
They are super-democratic civilization and have more or less 100-years
technology advantage over us.
They manipulate us since a few thousand years, although they live in a
place where a flow of time is much slower than here, so from Their
(alien) perspective, the whole “project” last for 20 maybe 30 years.
Their ultimate goal is to:
Accelerate our development,
Create Earth-wide true democratic society,
And finally, open a trade connection between their and our
Universe.
They come from an alternate Universe
Other solutions, I have
considered to explain observed paradoxes of
history, like: time travel, alien civilization from our Universe, great
computer game or solipsist ideas are physically impossible or
impractical.
They probably
save dead people “souls” and can resurrect them, because
Their manipulations inevitable made Them accomplice for many political
crimes, some even worse than the holocaust. And They know the
consequences of Their manipulations.
Their main weapon is a military/secret police computer system/network
that records all human thoughts, and can sway human mind and will using
reflections of his/her thoughts (we can say a Super Brainwashing
Machine – SBM).
Their abilities to affect material world are limited and indirect.
SBM can implant in human brain almost every idea from religious
thorough conspiracy to scientific ones.
One of the SBM priorities is to keep this manipulation in secret. So,
SBM attacks people who are potential danger to the system suggesting
them false answers or pushing them outright into madness (ex. John
Nash).
Basic defense techniques against SBM manipulations are:
Read many books and many movies of different kind – from
fiction
to
popular science or psychology. Do not be a slave of one book.
Keep contact with so many other people as possible (people
of different
interests to avoid an effect of ghetto).
Avoid any kind of addictions.
Share your unique knowledge with others.
Learn how to keep a balance of mind and when is worth to
risk some
unbalance to reach your objectives.
Learn the political history. Here you can find tools and
techniques to
defend yourself.
