A plague of shows such as “Big Brother” have sent the media into a frenzy in recent years. A handful of fame hungry individuals living three months of their lives under constant surveillance, the best moments of which aired on television for our amusement.
But how would we feel if we were living in a real life Big Brother without realising?
I once read a book, which told the story of a young girl, who is told that she is actually living in a make believe world. The village she lives in held captive without their knowledge, with the ‘real world’ able to pay to watch their every day lives.
The best way I can describe it is in comparison to “The Simpsons Movie”, when the town of Springfield has a massive clear dome placed over it…that is exactly how I imagine our Earth.
We believe that our world is the only one that exists; and why would we think any different? Many would argue that that’s because there has never been any reason to doubt the fact that isn’t true. However, isn’t is possible that it’s because we haven’t been allowed to think anything other than what we know.
If what I’m saying is in fact true, which I believe it is, all measures would be taken to ensure we never figured all this out surely? There may be the few stragglers, like me, who have their suspicions, but there is absolutely nothing out there to prove my theory true.
So who is this other world? I believe it’s a higher, more powerful society that are able to pay to watch how we live, what we do, how we are. They are basically “God”, or at least, what our perception of what ‘God’ is.
I know it all sounds extremely far fetched; a group of people in a cinema setting, complete with the oversized, overpriced refreshments, sitting down to watch…well, us, but I honestly believe it’s true.
We are nothing more than a mere experiment, a project...a bit of light entertainment. So the next time you settle down to watch the latest ‘Big Brother’ just think about who could be watching you.
Plausible conspiracy theory? You Decide.

Good grasp of the whole conspiracy theory thing, although you could have gone a bit darker with this.
ReplyDeleteIt is still a splendid pot boiler for discussion of the entire 'reality' media concept.
