Translated from French
I've rubbed shoulders with tech billionaires, high-flying politicians, leaders in wildly different fields.
The greatest disappointment isn't the one you'd think.
It's not cynicism. It's not corruption. It's unconsciousness.
In the vast majority of cases, these people have no idea of the effects of their actions. No one wakes up in the morning thinking, "I'm working for a system that produces mass immigration, hence insecurity." No one makes the connection. No one traces the causal chain back.
Why? Because they lack historical culture. Economic culture. They optimize their career, their status, their next step, without ever seeing the system they're part of.
They're not evil. They're lost.
The true cynics do exist; I've crossed paths with them. But they're rare. The banality of evil isn't villains plotting. It's smart, ambitious people, deeply unconscious, who execute without understanding.
That's far more frightening than a conspiracy. A conspiracy, you can fight. Mass unconsciousness, though, reproduces itself on its own.
