A normal, ordinary person, if accidentally mixed into the mentally ill group, how can you prove yourself? In the videos I originally posted, I saw some comments. I inherently have male privilege, so the way I speak in my videos has problems. I believe this kind of talk is very common in daily life. So today, I hope to express the absurdity of this kind of talk through a very simple story. This kind of talk is a completely illogical argument. In the movie "Minority Report," John Anderton, because he saw future information, knew that humanity would be almost extinct due to a war launched by AI. So he bombed a computer company. As a result, after being arrested, he was considered to have a mental illness by others. And in "Terminator 2," James Cameron elaborated extensively, depicting the story of Sarah Connor escaping from a mental hospital. And inside, the most impressive part is the psychiatrist. The more calm he is, the more the doctor says, "You are pretending to be sick." If he resists fiercely, it proves that he wants to pretend even more. No matter how John Anderton responds, he cannot prove his normalcy, and this is the utterly illogical argument. This is the most absurd part of the privilege theory. In the theory of scientist Karl Popper, the only standard to distinguish science from scientific logic and faith is falsifiability. If a theory can be disproven under any circumstances, it is not an objective truth but a religious dogma. And in many current narratives, no matter what social phenomenon occurs, we can seamlessly fit it into a framework. If a man succeeds or has an advantage, this is privilege, proving the system's bias and favoritism towards men. If men fail or have high suicide rates, this is the pressure forcing men to be strong, the toxic masculinity that demands they be victors. Both are wrong. If women are at a disadvantage, this is oppression. If women are strong or gain an advantage, this is the victory women have achieved in society, or it is merely a reward for women. Everything that happens is because of them, and everything that doesn't happen is also because of them. Men's achievements are also because of them, and men's failures are also because of them. This turns the concept of privilege into a metaphysical one, losing its actual analytical value. It becomes a metaphysical concept that is everywhere but cannot be measured, cannot be proven to exist, and cannot be proven not to exist. It is simply a religious dogma. This kind of unprovable concept is extremely dangerous for those who pursue logic and individual sovereignty, because it is essentially a framework that denies your free will, effort, talent, and responsibility as a person. And all achievements are attributed to a vast, invisible, powerful structure. Then your achievements are no longer the result of your hard work, but a favor bestowed upon you by this dark, evil god. And the suffering you endure is no longer a personal challenge to overcome, but because you cannot see the evil of the structure. This replaces our individual identity with a collective identity. As long as you input your biological sex, we will first see what status you have. If you are a bully, then you are inherently inferior. If you are a victim, then you are inherently beautiful, as if in a fantasy world. The system will automatically judge you as guilty or a victim, a perpetrator or a victim. If you refute, you are a beneficiary who is unaware of your privilege. If you don't refute, you are complicit. The "Malleus Maleficarum" was written in 1486 by the Catholic inquisitor Heinrich Kramer. And after he wrote this book, for nearly 300 years, it became the highest guiding principle for witch hunts throughout Europe. Many of the arguments within it are actually completely consistent with current feminism. After nearly 600 years, this set of tactics has never changed. And the fact that it has evolved into a self-improvement fatigue today is the greatest irony. The first part of "The Malleus Maleficarum" is the most absurd part of the book, directly eliminating any space for rational discussion. This book is written in a clear and straightforward manner, stating that witches absolutely exist. And the biggest logical trap within it is that if you deny the existence of witches, you yourself are a witch. As a result, any attempt to use logic, evidence, and reason to argue against it would immediately be judged as being sympathetic to witches or being deceived by demons. This logic of equating questioning with crime, with eating human flesh, completely deprives the accused of their right to defense. And within this framework, truth is not important. What is important is the narrative. The second problem with "The Malleus Maleficarum" is its justice system. It has a systemic presumption of guilt. It turns the judicial process into a foregone conclusion for individuals. First, it allows false accusations, meaning anyone can accuse others out of jealousy or malice. The accused does not even have the right to confront the accuser or question their motives, but the defense is invalidated. If a witness is willing to testify for the defendant, the judge will say that these witnesses are either accomplices of the witch or they are possessed by demons. Any evidence favorable to the defendant at that time would be considered a cover-up by demons and excluded. Third, a form of deception. If you confess at the time, you will be burned to death. If you do not confess, you are possessed by demonic forces, and you must be tortured until you die or confess. Even more tragic is that the judges at the time were empowered to use deception, promising the accused at the time that if they confessed, they could survive. And then, after conviction, they immediately reneged and executed them. It even brazenly claimed that dealing with witches does not require adherence to the law. Does this sound familiar? We don't need to talk about justice, let's all go together. Third, the main killing of the past is its binding to collective identity. "The Malleus Maleficarum" is extremely targeted at specific groups, mainly women, portraying them as weak, lustful, and lacking in self-control, and packaging these characteristics as making them objective victims of witchcraft. The problem with this book lies in identity politics, where it binds a certain innate physiological attribute to a certain inherent characteristic. When the court sees a person with independent will and soul, they are seen as a symbol of a group that will inevitably fall. This book became a booster for collective madness. When society faces collapse and unknown fears, this book provides a perfect mechanism. It tells people that your suffering is because of the witches lurking around you. This statement effectively shifts the conflict, causing people to monitor each other. Many people consider this book the pinnacle of feminist works, proving that humanity has been deceived throughout history. But in fact, the system and logic displayed in this book, if not vigilant and restricted, can be very terrifying. Because the women in it can be replaced by any group, any race, and that logic still exists. So when we see people saying that because you have male privilege, your arguments are not valid, they are just putting a label called privilege on you. The operation is the same. These wise doctors do not need to debate with you or discuss whether the world you see is real. The doctor only needs to write down on your chart that you have delusions or male privilege. Your entire life immediately becomes a delusion.
