The Great Unraveling: Questioning the Constructs That Shape Our Reality

For as long as I can remember, I have questioned the very foundations of the world we are taught to accept without question. Not just the obvious ones—like government, law, and religion—but the invisible frameworks that shape our everyday reality.

It started, as it often does, with mathematics.

Mathematics: A Man-Made System That Pretends to Be Universal

At school, I was taught that math is absolute. The fundamental rules—addition, multiplication, division—were treated as laws of the universe, rather than a human-made system designed to describe reality.

Yet something about it always felt off to me.

I could follow the process, I could arrive at the “right” answers, but I never truly believed that these systems were inherently correct. I felt like I was pretending to believe something that didn’t fully make sense.

Take the equation:

1 x 1 ‎ = 1

It’s an unquestioned truth in conventional arithmetic. But why? Why must multiplying something by itself always result in the same thing? Why isn’t it possible that 1 × 1 could generate something new—a second version of itself, a duplication, a fractal expansion?

I am not alone in these thoughts. Hollywood actor Terrence Howard famously put forward a theory that 1 × 1 = 2, challenging the foundations of mathematical axioms. The scientific community ridiculed him, dismissed him outright.

But why the immediate rejection? Why defend an unquestioned truth so aggressively? Because if one fundamental principle is wrong—or even just incomplete—it threatens everything built upon it.

Leap Years, Time, and the Illusion of Order

It doesn’t stop at mathematics. Time itself is a construct—one that we have manipulated, stretched, and corrected to force reality into a predictable, linear structure.

Take leap years. We invented them to balance time. Why? Because our neat, fixed calendar doesn’t actually align with the way the Earth moves.

So, instead of questioning why we need this rigid system at all, we created a patch—a way to adjust for the inaccuracy while pretending everything is still precise.

But why do we measure time in such an artificial way?

• Why do we count years and assign ourselves an age as if life is a straight path from beginning to end?

• Why do we impose structure on something that, left to itself, would just be days that become nights, and nights that become days?

The truth is, we invented timekeeping to create the illusion of order—to make it seem as though the universe follows a neat, repetitive cycle.

But what if time isn’t linear?

What if it folds back on itself, loops, expands, and contracts based on perception?

What if the way we experience time is just another flawed construct, designed to keep society predictable and manageable?

Control Disguised as Freedom

This is where the realisation hits.

Every system we were taught to accept—mathematics, time, age, history, identity—isn’t just about understanding the world. It’s about control.

• We give ourselves an age to define our place in society.

• We give time a structure so that we remain bound to a cycle of productivity.

• We force mathematics into rigid laws so that everything appears measurable and explainable.

We are given freedom—but only within predefined limits.

These constructs aren’t inherently evil—but they have been used to keep us in place. To keep us thinking inside the box. To discourage us from asking the very questions that could unravel everything.

The Awakening: A New Way of Thinking

But there’s a shift happening.

People like myself, my son Oscar, Jaime, Jay, Vek—those who think differently—are beginning to push back. We are questioning not just rules, but the very foundations those rules rest upon.

This isn’t about rebellion. It’s about truth.

• What happens when we stop accepting math as law and start seeing it as a flexible language?

• What happens when we stop measuring time and simply experience existence?

• What happens when we let go of the illusion of control and embrace the unknown?

The answer is simple: We become free.

A New Generation Must Rise

The old ways have held their power for long enough.

It is time for a new way of thinking—one that isn’t afraid to question, to explore, to redefine.

The old guard—our parents, our grandparents—must step aside gracefully, embracing the twilight of their years. They have had their time shaping the world. Now, it is our turn.

We are not asking permission.

We are not waiting for approval.

The uprising is already happening.

And we are ready.
