Do you believe that Finland does not exist at all?
In this issue, we talk about a light-hearted, hilarious, and brain-opening conspiracy theory - Finnish conspiracy theory
Between 60 and 70 degrees north latitude of our planet, there is a very mysterious country, Finland
This country is very close to the North Pole, almost 1/3 of the country's land is within the Arctic Circle
As a result, the country's winters are long and cold, and the summers are mild and short
In addition, the country has a land area of only 338,000 square kilometers, which is smaller than Yunnan Province
That's about 1/28 of China's land area, and this small, cold and remote country
But there is a shocking conspiracy theory circulating
Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland are all part of the Nordic five
However, with the exception of Finland, the other four countries have similarities in their languages
Direct communication is also not a big deal
The Finnish language, on the other hand, is alien to them and is completely incommunicative with the neighbouring countries
Also, it sounds like Japan
In addition, Finland has a lot of very strange activities and cultures
For example, the more famous daughter-in-law contest is to carry your daughter-in-law
Overcome all kinds of obstacles and move forward
The competition was very intense, and it felt like these gay men were robbing a daughter-in-law
Carrying the daughter-in-law war
Finland also has the World Air Guitar Competition
That is, there is no guitar in the hand, there is a guitar in the heart, follow the accompaniment, and achieve the unity of people and auspiciousness
Let everyone know what it means to want to bloom in life
World Air Guitar Competition
After the performance, the jury based on their originality, musical precision,
Six aspects of stage sense, impression score, and air sense are scored
There is also a heavy metal knitting sweater competition, which is a sweater knitted with heavy metal music
Swing while weaving, let everyone know
What is hidden under the flamboyant and unrestrained appearance is the heart of a girl who is dressed in pink jade and cowardly
Heavy metal knitting sweater competition
In addition to this, there is a kind of equestrian competition
However, he did not have a horse, but had a suspected horse's head between his legs
Then there are various competitions
Equestrian competitions
These bizarre projects, if you can describe them in one word, are "Form 2"
And the only country in the world that can interpret the word "middle two" is Japan
Because Japan also often holds some strange competitions, what pig riding competitions, cute girl wrestling competitions and so on
So, whether it's language or humanities, you'll find that Finland is very much like Japan
And why are these two countries, which are more than 7,000 kilometers away in a straight line, so similar?
Conspiracy theories do not exist in Finland
In 2014, a conspiracy theory was born
It broke out all over Finland, but in fact, it was all faked by Japan
Finland doesn't exist on the world map, it's just an ocean
The so-called Finns are actually descendants of Europe, who are deeply influenced by Japanese culture
They live in eastern Sweden and the western part of Russia
That's why Finland's language and culture are so similar to Japan's
And the reason why Japan wants to fake a country is because Japan needs to catch a lot of fish every year to attack the domestic market
But because of outside scrutiny and opposition, their fishing is always restricted
So, a long time ago, Japan entered into an agreement with the USSR
A portion of the Baltic Sea was planned for Japan as a dedicated fishing ground
The fish were partly distributed to the Soviet Union, and the other part was transported to Japan via the Trans-Siberian Railway
And in order to escape from outside supervision, it is possible to fish clandestinely without complying with environmental laws
They falsely claimed that the sea was a continent and faked a country called Finland on it to attract people's attention
And the surrounding neighboring countries, in order to curry favor with the then powerful Soviet Union, also recognized the existence of Finland
Since then, Japan and the Soviet Union have jointly spread such an idea
That is, in the vast expanse of the ocean, there is a land called Finland
With the development of the times, Japan has also packaged Finland in various aspects such as economy and culture
For example, Finland has a company that was once very famous in the world - Nokia
Conspiracy theorists claim that Nokia is a company that Japan deliberately set up in Finland in order to package Finland
Because you will find that many of Nokia's accessories come from Japan
So Nokia in Finland is just a shell company in Japan, and at the same time, Finland is one of the member states of the European Union
However, the per capita GDP is much higher than the EU average
This is also the result of Japan, a country with a large GDP
And culturally, the same
To give you an example, everyone has heard the song of throwing onions
This song was brought to fire by Japan's Hatsune Miku
But in fact, he is a Finnish song, so why does Japan want to sing for Finland?
Finland also has a very large population, accounting for about 0.0912% of the world's population
In the general census, there will be at least 1% error
So, a single error could make the Finns non-existent
This conspiracy theory about Finland was published on a forum in 2014 by a user named Raregan
Because his parents once told him about a whole set of conspiracies that do not exist in Finland
So when he was very young, he always thought that Finland was a fictional place
This novel theory has attracted a lot of attention on the Internet
Since then, conspiracy theories that do not exist in Finland have spread through the Internet
Many netizens have begun to join the discussion of conspiracy theories
Together, we will look for clues that do not exist in Finland and contribute to this theoretical system
For example, let me give you another example, Finland, which has a cold climate
There was born a master of world civilization, St. Nicholas
Who is this man, Santa Claus
Finland is recognized as the home of Santa Claus, which is a suspenseful affair
Because as we all know, Santa Claus is a fiction
Does this mean that Finland as a country is also fictional, of course not
In fact, in the past ten years, many countries have opened up the tourism economy
are all in their own country, looking for Santa's roots
For example, Norwegians say that Santa Claus is actually a native of us
The Danes believe that Greenland, where the snow and ice is the most suitable place for Santa Claus
Americans insist that Santa Claus used to live in this tun in Alaska
The Japanese have even made Hokkaido the hometown of Santa Claus
What's even more interesting is that Sweden also held a grand settlement ceremony for Santa Claus
Finland stands out from the crowd thanks to two people
One is Marcus, the king of children's stories, said in 1927 when Marcus was telling a story on a television station
Santa Claus, the reason why he can hear the hearts of all the children in the world at the North Pole
Because, he lives on a mountain with ears
And this mountain with ears is the mountain of ears in the province of Apra, Finland
His contagious romantic reasoning has made this story widely circulated
Let Finland first become the hometown of Santa Claus in public opinion
The second person I would like to thank is the sixth Secretary-General of the United Nations, Boutros Boutros-Ghali
First of all, legend has it that Santa Claus and his wife live near the North Pole
And the only city in the world located on the Arctic Circle is Lovaniemi
The city happens to belong to Finland and is the fifth largest city in Finland
And on Christmas Eve 1995, Gary wrote a holiday greeting letter to Santa Claus
The address of this blessing letter is Lovaniemi, which is written
If you think about it, doesn't the letter written by the UN Secretary-General mean that the UN also recognizes Finland as the home of Santa Claus?
As a result, Finland has many competitors that have become Santa's home
But bizarrely, every year in the world there is a gathering of Santa Claus' annual party
At every party, hundreds of actors from many countries, dressed in red and dressed as Santa Claus, come to participate
Finland, the hometown of Santa Claus, has never sent Santa Claus to participate in this event
This also indirectly led to the fact that at the 40th World Santa Claus Congress
Greenland, a Danish territory, is recognized as Santa's true hometown
Why has Finland, the home of the elderly, never sent Santa Claus?
In addition, Finland is remote, small and has a cold climate
However, in some areas, it is the best in the world, such as the integrity and efficiency of government civil servants
In 2012, Transparency International published a report on the Global Corruption Perceptions Index
The number one among 176 countries and territories is Finland
In addition, in the 2018 global happiness index rankings
Finland is also in first place, with a scary high level of national welfare
In addition, Finnish education is always known as the best in the world
If one wants to evaluate the quality of education in a country, one usually looks at one piece of data
It is the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation
The OECD conducts PISA tests every three years
This test is aimed at 15-year-olds worldwide
Set them up with realistic scenarios and a series of challenging missions
In the process, these children are tested on how they think and solve problems
Before 2009, Finnish children often came first
Later, in 2009, China began to be the first again
However, this does not mean that education in China is much better than in Finland
Because in terms of the efficiency of education, Finland is still very high
For example, Finnish students spend an average of only three hours a week on homework
Chinese students, on the other hand, have to write for almost three hours a day
In addition, Finland hardly takes exams and never makes up classes
Therefore, education in Finland is the epitome of high quality and low affordability
So, on paper, Finland is a utopian city
Security, equality, happiness, stability, the human yearning for happiness, it all takes over
How can such a beautiful country really exist?
The United States has so developed scientific and technological wealth, it can't do it, your country has nothing, and what are you doing first
There is no mine at home, and there is no oil underground, so why are you so unique?
All kinds of corroboration have made this conspiracy theory, which does not exist in Finland, more and more popular
You may think that Finland is a conspiracy theory compared to other conspiracy theories
His evidence is not so convincing
There is even some corroboration, and it feels very funny
But why, this seemingly somewhat ridiculous conspiracy theory is on fire
Let's talk about the science behind the conspiracy
That's why humans believe in pseudoscience
Deciphering pseudoscience
First of all, there is a conspiracy theory that Finland does not exist
Even, someone can come up with scientific evidence to refute this conspiracy theory
Conspiracy theorists also believe that this evidence is fake, which is easy to understand
Let me give you an example of what comes to mind when you think of Columbus
Great navigators, great heroes, right?
Because everyone has heard that Columbus discovered the New World
But in fact, the Indians lived on the American continent very early
Columbus and his successors, slaughtered at least a million Indians, with blood on their hands
Columbus
But because of the story of Columbus, it is described as a heroic figure
Rationalizing his actions, and the views that a person forms in his early years have very strong power
The sooner this information enters people's minds, the easier it is to correct it
This also indirectly led to the fact that even many people later came up with corresponding evidence
But there are still many people who do not believe in the brutality of Columbus
It's like the Finnish conspiracy theory that the author was at a very young age
Hearing his parents tell him about this conspiracy theory convinced him of this opinion, but this is only one aspect
Because there are also many people who have not heard of this conspiracy theory as children
I still believe in Finnish conspiracy theories, but it's not because of IQ or anything
Rather, pseudoscience has a unique feature, that is, although pseudoscience is deceitful
But it is undeniable that pseudoscience is often more popular than science
The first reason is that pseudoscience can do what science can't
To give you an example, in 1988, the Australian media began to report on a master named Carlos
The master is said to be a wise man and a healer
With a soul of more than 2,000 years old, he can speak through time, in short, it is all kinds of hanging
What can be done with water and a crystal ball to cure diseases
It can play a bullet, a shiver, a loose lightning whip, etc., this kind of deception sounds very low-level
But at the time, it deceived half of Australia
His performance at the Sydney Opera House was packed
Maybe everyone thinks it's because the news was relatively closed at that time, and everyone was easier to deceive
But even after his deception was exposed
There are still many people who believe Carlos's words, and they feel that what Carlos said is true
And this happens precisely because there is a limit to what science can do
And the promise that pseudoscience can give is limitless
A lot of pseudoscience often claims that it can do things that science can't
For example, at least so far, science has not been able to completely defeat some diseases, let alone bring people back from the dead
But pseudoscience claims to be psychic, and can cure all diseases in a simple way
It allows you to talk to a deceased loved one and so on, which makes pseudoscience more attractive than science
This is very effective for people who are in a desperate situation
Because they have problems that often can't be solved by science
For example, a loved one died, got a terminal illness, and so on, so they can only resort to pseudoscience
At least pseudoscience can give them, the last glimmer of hope
In addition, the second aspect is that science can provide truth, and pseudoscience can provide fun
And when truth and fun conflict, people are more willing to choose fun over truth
For example, the famous crop circle may have been heard of by everyone
It is that many farmers in Britain suddenly found that there were many strange geometric patterns in their farmland
These patterns are large and exquisite, as if they are sending a message to humans
As a result, many people came to explore the mystery and put forward various conjectures
The media rushed to report and made all kinds of wonderful analyses
But in 1991, two people admitted that there was a showdown
They have been making this wheat field pattern for the past 15 years
Because they think the reports and rumors related to UFOs are very interesting, they want to amuse everyone
Slowly, some people began to imitate them, so there were more and more crop circles in the world
In addition, these two people were also on the scene, demonstrating the process of making crop circles
So the whole incident, in the final analysis, was a joke
But compared to the mysterious rumors in the crop circle, the truth is too boring
Many people are willing to listen to imaginative stories
Like the Bermuda Triangle where the Atlantis continent at the bottom of the sea will engulf ships and planes
The Loch Ness Monster and Sasquatch, and this Finland does not exist and so on
Because of this, conspiracy theories are enduring
Of course, I'm not whitewashing pseudoscience
Just to help you analyze the reasons behind the popularity of pseudoscience
Only when everyone can clearly understand one thing can they not be deceived by it
