Man is a creature that is deceived and bled a lot. There are adjectives such as a tool maker, a thinking person, an actor, I think the adjective “deceived person” can be added to these. Pheasant Osman in our Keloğlan tales is the symbol of the deceiver in our daily life. The bleeds feed the deceivers. The deceiver has a lack of morality, and the deceived has a lack of thinking skills.
A Thousand and One Deceptions
The number 99.99 on the labels is an expression of deception. It creates the perception of “ninety-odd” in the buyer. “Buy three, pay for two” campaigns are partial deception. The wish game is an enjoyable form of cheating. In my novel “Ladesçi”, I described how timeshare sellers deceive their customers with various mise-en-scène. Power bracelet vendors ask you to stretch your arms and press them between your elbows and wrists, you press, their arms come down. They wear a simple bracelet made of rope on their wrists. They ask you to press between their shoulders and elbows, you press as before, but their arms do not come down. They say that the bracelet strengthens your arms, you buy it right away. The trick is this: when you press on the ground close to the wrist, everyone’s arm goes down, and when you press it between the elbow and the shoulder, nobody’s arm goes down.
Istanbul Aydın University has been giving an astrology certificate for years. However, astrology is science and irrational.
In the world’s first commercial, a doctor suggests feeding a weak and sick child a brand of oatmeal. In the second scene of the movie, the child has gained weight and is eating that mash spoon by spoon. There were two tricks here. First, two separate children, one thin and the other fat, were used in the movie, and since the second child did not eat that oatmeal, he was given a white chocolate dessert of the same color.
LANDS OF KENYATA
Mindfulness and meditation-type approaches contribute to people’s inner peace. Beautiful. But while we live at peace with ourselves, we must also look at the world through the questioning glasses of philosophy and science. Otherwise, while you are living in inner peace, some shrewd eyes may deceive you and steal your belongings. Jomo Kenyata has a very famous simile on this subject, he said:
“When the Westerners came to our country, we had a vast land, and they only had the Bible. They gave us the Bible and said, ‘Close your eyes and pray’. So we took the Bible, closed our eyes and prayed for a long time. When we opened our eyes, we saw that we still had the Bible, but our land was theirs.”
In this example, the Bible is not guilty, those who use the Bible for profit are guilty. When one of the former US presidents got into political trouble, he took a Bible and appeared on television. This behavior is an abuse of people’s religious feelings.
Despite deceivers, one can be trained not to be deceived. The Dimensionality (Scientific Awareness) Approach can be useful in this training. When we use this approach, we can enable people to question events, collect healthy data and reason realistically.
Two months before his death, İsmet İnönü had said briefly at a conference at Arı Cinema in Ankara: “I asked them to write a simple sentence in Lausanne, ‘Capitulations have been lifted’, but the other party stated the issue in a long paragraph, claiming that it was not a legal language. The text they wrote came to me thirty times. I didn’t sign it, I insisted they write my simple sentence. Finally, one day, they wrote the sentence I wanted and brought it, I said, ‘It wasn’t the language of law?’ When he said that, they laughed and said, “We decided to remove it.”
In this example, İnönü managed not to be deceived by his intelligence. We can’t all be that smart. We need dimensionality training.
