When do humans reject objective order and become dependent on their own states of mind? Or, perhaps, in a more grandiose form, we might ask:\u003cbr\u003e When do people appeal to God?\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 3, “Failure to Show Off, the Beginning of Conspiracy Theories”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Humans compete for scarce resources, but at the heart of such competition lies the desire for honor.\u003cbr\u003e Humans first resort to violence to protect their bodies, that is, to maintain sensory motor function and self-preservation.\u003cbr\u003e But the ultimate crux of the conflict lies in the evaluations made between humans. \u003cbr\u003e“Violence is used because of a single word, a single smile, a difference of opinion, or a trivial expression of belittling about one’s identity, one’s relatives, friends, ethnicity, occupation, or family.”\u003cbr\u003e This is the state of 'war of all against all', which is commonly referred to as the Hobbesian state of conflict.\u003cbr\u003e The important thing is that this war is not a continuation of actual slaughter, but a state of continued mutual contempt.\u003cbr\u003e In this state of civil war, everyone has no choice but to become a show-off who puts on a good show.\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 4, \"The Nation, the New Idol\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCan we truly meet as equals, completely erasing the markers of social superiority and inferiority? Even if we wear the same hat, what if subtle differences in material or fashion reveal class distinctions? However, when we reflect on the nation's struggle as an agent to create itself through lies, straddling the line between appearance and inner self, we realize that individual citizens, too, cannot help but engage in similar efforts.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, the difficulty of performing lying as a political ability lies in the fact that one cannot lie indiscriminately.\u003cbr\u003e The importance of the active act of not taking off one's hat in front of Leviathan is also revealed in a new light in this context.\u003cbr\u003e So how can we restore some form of public worship?\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 5, “The Limits of the Lie Called the Nation”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Constitutional Court's actions in its impeachment trial can be understood as a theatrical performance that brought the two principles of democracy and the state into the world of visibility.\u003cbr\u003e Unlike other constitutional courts, the Constitutional Court in the impeachment trial of the president used honorifics when announcing the gist of its decision, seemingly reminding the public that the parties to the trial are all equal fellow citizens.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, the trial at this time appears to be a stage that visualizes the crisis and closure of the constitution.\u003cbr\u003e It's a rare moment when everyone can look in the same direction, like on the Leviathan map.\u003cbr\u003e Unlike the impeachment trial of President Park Geun-hye, no separate supplementary opinion was read in the impeachment trial of President Yoon Seok-yeol. \u003cbr\u003eAlthough the official decision included a supplementary opinion on the impeachment trial process, the presiding Justice, Moon Hyung-bae, concluded his ruling with the following statement, clearly demonstrating that even the Constitutional Court trial is part of a theatrical performance that must appear in the world of visibility.\u003cbr\u003e “Therefore, with the unanimous consent of all the judges, the order is pronounced.\u003cbr\u003e Since this is an impeachment case, we will confirm the sentencing time.\u003cbr\u003e The time now is 11:22 AM.\u003cbr\u003e The petitioner, President Yoon Seok-yeol, is dismissed.\u003cbr\u003e This concludes the sentence.”\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 6, “Korea, the Theater Nation”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The increasingly sophisticated social media arena is once again transforming into a stage for social clubs and parties.\u003cbr\u003e The key to showing off now is to cross the boundaries between online and offline.\u003cbr\u003e Losers watch the winners' show-off party scenes on Instagram 'stories'. \u003cbr\u003eBut even so, there is a true winner in this new arena of show.\u003cbr\u003e It's an algorithm.\u003cbr\u003e How will I show myself off? From the beginning, a society of visibility presupposes a disconnect—or, more blatantly, a lie—between the human interior and the exterior. But now, a truly profound disconnect seems to exist between people.\u003cbr\u003e If my ostentation is to extend beyond my small network, I must now rely on algorithms rather than my friends.\u003cbr\u003e As this rhetorical expression shows, an unknown boundary now exists between humans.\u003cbr\u003e This provides a new grammar to the world of visibility.\u003cbr\u003e We seem to see more than ever before, but we are increasingly losing control over what we see.\u003cbr\u003e Does the flood of information reflect my desires? Maybe, maybe not.\u003cbr\u003e It's not easy to decide to wear a hat and see the country together. \u003cbr\u003eBecause the algorithm is invisible.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- From Chapter 7, \"Social Media and Lonely Losers\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \",\"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eIn a world where what you see is everything\u003cbr\u003e We are not in a truth game\u003cbr\u003e You're playing a lying game!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Everyone lies.\u003cbr\u003e The era of authenticity, which demands looking inside yourself and finding your true self, is also an era in which showing yourself is more important than ever.\u003cbr\u003e The images we upload to social media are not fake, but they are not the truth, they are fabricated, a kind of lie.\u003cbr\u003e Lies are spread throughout conversations with friends, job interviews, and salary negotiations. \u003cbr\u003e“Your new clothes are pretty.” “I’ll do my best.” “Our company aims for a horizontal atmosphere.” People aren’t playing a game of truth, where they transparently tell the truth, but a game of lies, where they choose at every moment what to show others.\u003cbr\u003e Everyone is an actor on stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The problem is that the conditions of life that force us to see, compare, and evaluate each other inevitably give rise to feelings of jealousy and contempt.\u003cbr\u003e People who look down on each other and feel anxious when comparing themselves to others cannot be truly free.\u003cbr\u003e The competition for status to show off just continues endlessly.\u003cbr\u003e So how can we escape the mere competition of showing off our superiority over others?
