"The world will be Tlön"
[Unless you do not act like a clone]
[…]
Much of what we’ve accepted as “truth” has been carefully constructed, written in ways that discourage scrutiny. Borges, for instance, masterfully illustrated this in Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.
Jorge Luis Borges, one of the most brilliant literary minds of the 20th century, masterfully explored the nature of reality, language, and ideology in Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, a short story first published in Ficciones (1940). The story presents a fictional world—Tlön—created by a secret society with the goal of reshaping human perception through fabricated knowledge. What begins as an obscure intellectual curiosity slowly infiltrates human thought, replacing reality with a meticulously constructed but entirely fictional world.
Borges anticipated the mechanisms of mass manipulation and ideological conditioning, showing how civilizations adopt false realities as truth when presented with a coherent, authoritative narrative.
The story is not just a literary experiment—it is a warning. It eerily mirrors our time, where digital information, ideological agendas, and institutional narratives hold the power to overwrite reality itself.
Borges understood that whoever controls perception controls reality. In Tlön, reality is not merely rewritten—it is erased, replaced by a world where subjective belief supersedes material existence. As Borges famously concludes, “The world will be Tlön”, signaling that the real danger is not in the existence of false narratives, but in our willingness to accept them as truth.
We see this happening today. Ideologies have become so powerful that they distort perception, making people blind to what is in front of them. When narratives replace truth, questioning becomes an act of defiance.
In this world, reality is subjective, logic is rewritten, and over time, fabricated ideas infiltrate society until Tlön becomes the only recognized truth.
Are you still holding on to beliefs you once thought were absolute truths? Have you questioned them? In today’s world of extreme polarization, where discussions on gender, identity, and natural law are becoming battlegrounds, these questions matter more than ever. I recently read a post by an astrologer who, like many in that field, subscribes to a highly ideological worldview. It's interesting to me how so many astrologers lean toward the "woke" perspective, clinging to belief systems that give them a sense of certainty.
But I remind myself—and you, the reader—that whatever I write is my own evolving perspective. It is not absolute. My views shift as I continue to question.

Reality, as we perceive it, is being rewritten. We are living through an era where the very foundation of what we believe is being dismantled. If money—the core structure of our civilization—has been an illusion, manipulated for control, then what else have we been conditioned to believe? From education to politics to social movements, corruption seeps into every corner. When something is tainted, you don’t ignore it—you put on gloves and start cleaning.
And that’s where we are now. Cleaning up the wreckage of ideology, stripping away the illusions, and reclaiming our right to think freely.
Because if we don’t, the world won’t just be Tlön.
The world will be cloned.
