How To Interpret Fairyland

There is a philosophical concept I want the reader to understand, first and foremost. That is Nihilism, Solipsism, Last Thursdayism, Mind in a Vat---etc, etc, etc,. In other words, absurd claims in philosophy. Nihilism is the thought that there are no morals. Solipsism is the thought that only you exist. Last Thursdayism is the thought that everything was created last Thursday, and our memories are simply inherited, and are not real. Mind in a Vat is that we are in a computer program, etc.

So... there's one common theme and element in all of this. It is the element of untruth. We know, without a doubt, that morals exist. We know without a doubt that Last Thursday was not the beginning of the universe. We know, without a doubt---with the most amount of evidence than the others---that we are not alone. We know, without a doubt, that we are not in a computer program. And the reason for this is quite simple. There is something in us, hardwired even, to say that the empirical world we observe is true. It's in us to say some other things, as well.

So, all of these claims are purely philosophical in nature. Yes. We know they are absurd. Yes. We know that they are unable to be proven true. Yes. Or false. Yes. They are simply thought experiments. Yes.

So, onto some other noteworthy, and actually believed notions. The Earth is flat. We have ample sources, satellite photos, astronauts, even ocean cartography among other things, to safely assume that the earth is not flat. It is a little harder to be convinced that this is true---just a little, but enough to make foolish people believe it. So, at the core, there would have to be an entire conspiracy of all governments of the world keeping it secret that the Earth is flat, if it really were. So, keep this in mind.

Then, there is evolution. We don't have direct evidence of it. But, we have a cadre, a  very large cadre, of people who inherently believe that Evolution is not true. And the reason for this is religiously motivated. Now, I'm more religious than these because I don't think God is proven false or true based on the existence of a theory like Evolution. It's really not a thing to consider, but Christians consider it and look mighty foolish doing so. So, the idea that evolution does not exist, falls into these categories. But, there's more.

Conspiracy Theories. Now we get to the meat and potatoes, that every American will believe, at some point, a conspiracy theory of some kind. JFK assassination, Big Foot, Moon Landing, Illuminati, Lizard Kings, etc. etc. etc. And, we get the same kinds of problems with this as we do the previous. It's all built on data that is interpreted in a way that is not accurate. For there to be a conspiracy, there'd have to be a lot of things happening that would be impossible to hide. So... it's all ideas based in some solid sociology, but the cause is being attributed to a few people, when it, in this case, should be attributed to the society as a whole. For not respecting Democracy, for letting themselves be fooled by Entertainment. For simply desiring their lives to be a lot more interesting than they actually are. In other words, Conspiracy Theories are cultural delusions meant to spice life up for the average Joe, and imprint on the society the ills of the individual.

So... we get to the ultimate schema. Fairyland. It is the culmination of all of these. It allows all of it to be true. There is a Jontunheim underneath the earth. If we're in space, it's because we're in a jewel like galaxy created by giants. If there is magic, it's because of xyz. So... I'm sure a lot of Fairyland will be proven false. Some of it will be proven true. And like any theory, there will be mental gymnastics to make it exist. As is the case with Conspiracy Theories, Flat Earthers, Moon Landing Deniers, 9/11 Truthers. The fact remains that it is probably not true. 9/11 was more than likely perpetrated by foreign powers wanting to drive America to the ground. The earth is probably not flat. Giants probably don't exist.

So... there encounters a problem with Religion, specifically Christianity, to believe in Flat Earths, Evolution's untruth, among other things. And if this is true, then Fairyland must be true. Because we no longer live in an accidental world---that doesn't mean by accident; it just means it is caused. We then live in a magical world. And the point of Fairyland is to simply say, "I don't know if it exists or not. But, I don't believe it does because it doesn't make sense with reality."

So... what does Fairyland mean. That's the more important aspect. It is no longer metaphysical, but it is rather metaphorical. It means something. Medea does not exist. But, the Internet and Television do exist. Brittos does not exist. But, people have to fight a battle against the entertainment they consume in order to win the day, and stay a Christian. Giants do not exist. But, people have uncanny lusts for life that will make them more likely to commit wrongdoing just to have a better life. Orcs don't exist, but there are  extremely violent people. Elves don't exist, but there are people who lust, and would accept any gross technology that could be conceived because it will give them more opportunity to do gross things that will please them in the short run. There is no such thing as Leviathan---a three kilometer long Sea Conch---but there is death, and an afterlife. There is no such thing as Thor---but there is a desire to leave here, and go some place different, new, strange, lusty. There is no such thing as Fairies---but there is an artificial reality created on the television and internet. There is no such thing as Somodivas, but there are women who are more interested in their freedom than actual love; and more often they are beautiful and wildly dangerous to court. There are no such things as Dragons, but there is such a thing as misers and people who will destroy everything just to enrich themselves.

With that being said, that is how Fairyland is to be interpreted. It's not likely that these things exist in reality. Nethanim more than likely are not real. But, I am real. And these stories are there to help me overcome the theories noted above... all bound together in Fairyland. Because there it is an ultimate schema that must be wrestled with. There, anything is possible in the real world of Fairyland, which is the mental world of the author, or the Nethanim. Which is why it's dangerous to believe the above because they take the blame off of the actual problem. That is the person, the individual---because people often search for Fairyland for a purpose. A notable author, T. S. Eliot had his famous character Prufrock drown himself looking for this. I can see no other metaphor to draw from it. It's interesting how archetypal this is... what I'm dealing with. But, you can drown yourself looking for the Fairyland, when you need to be grounded in the actual land you're standing on. Rather, Fairyland is there to explain psychology. Not reality.

And the above theories are all Fairyland. They are all mental movies and delusions the person who entertains them are living. They are defense mechanisms, they are binding all of our hate into an effigy, much like the secret societies do that we critique. But, they, in a sense, are Fairyland. Far away, removed, and kind of there dancing around Moloch, in their crazed delusions. Which, real or not, they only have power if they suck you into it too. Which is why Fairyland is much like Solipsism or Last Thursdayism. It's a thought experiment meant to help you escape the so called Magical Reality, which is in all truth a delusion shared by a population.

And these foes are dangerous. Don't get me wrong. Just, they're dangerous in a different way. Rather than attack you physically, they attack you mentally. And if mentally, you start making bad decisions. And that's how we get Trump in office. That's how we run Hillary against him. That's how we pass bills in Congress that are troubling like the Real ID or Healthcare Mandate. And we must remember that the Founding Fathers fought against something tangible. A tax. It was not boogiemen. Had it been, it would have been a war that couldn't be won. And in the intellectual battleground, we need to rid ourselves of the boogiemen in order to see the real problem, which is just human corruption creeping in at every level of government. And that being conflated with Fairyland is dangerous because Fairyland to a rational human being doesn't exist. Neither do conspiracies or Moral Nihilism. They are fringe doctrines, and I'm afraid that no war needs fought right now. But, these corruptions within the leaderships is letting open a door for wars, and unnecessary conflicts which could threaten the Earth.

So, the foes to fight are internal. That's Fairyland. It's internal, not external. It's a battle for thoughts, not steel. And if we understand that, I think we'll learn why stories are so important for a society. Because they are one of the foremost ways we define evil, and we can also use it to stand against evil. But seeing the bad guy on Avengers Hail Hydra---which is Hitler, like, that's what it is---it's not the foe we need to fight. The foe we need to fight is within us.
