381. "What is given even if you do nothing" might ultimately be a matter of faith.

If you believe "I believe the world will support me" without seeking evidence, that is faith. Faith does not require scientific proof. Instead, it is important to avoid confusing faith with scientific laws or economic laws.


382. As a belief system, it is quite similar to old religions.

  • "The heavens are watching."
  • "God will provide."
  • "You will be given what you need."

These ideas have existed since ancient times. The modern concept of "universe" is, in a sense, part of that lineage. Therefore, it's not entirely a new idea.


383. The new combination is "faith + self-improvement + market."

However, in modern versions, it is not just about faith. It combines desires fulfilled, self-affirmation, success, income, marketing, and SNS. This is what's new.

One is saved not by believing in God, but by believing in the universe, and moving towards realizing an ideal life.
