End of the World Broadcast

Speculation. knowledge that observes the world and assigns meaning is always followed by experience and judgment.

Humans, who have such autonomous will that they can deny even the “instinct to live” that they fundamentally possess as living beings and end their own lives, cannot help but be subjective forever.
However, due to the perspective that views things through inference based on one’s own experiences of seeing, going through, and hearing, rather than accepting objects and phenomena as they are.
The world that was originally objective and one has become a mixture of many falsehoods and truths.
People utter various abstract words even about visible objects like “one apple,” saying it’s sweet and astringent, small and large, round and angular.
These concepts and comparisons are exclusively the property of humans on Earth, and are called reason, a representative ability that distinguishes humans from animals.
Unlike animals that merely sense and intuit, humanity named itself Homo sapiens, “wise human,” because it has reason that thinks and recognizes.
And what is based on this reason is none other than time and space.
The farther the subject moves from the current time and space where people breathe and live, the more subjective and abstract people become. They rely on experience, or become so obsessed with causality that they believe even evidence with shallow foundations.
The subjects of judgment that have continuously changed with the development of religion, history, the universe, the deep sea, and civilization that made what was not objective in human history objective have now converged to a point.

[Is human extinction predetermined? Numerous experts remained silent. Is there no future in this world?]
[Is the end of the world approaching? The spread of doomsayers roaming the streets… triggering social unrest like property destruction]
[‘We need to stay strong especially in situations like this…’ Charity and environmental organizations that haven’t lost hope]

Mori’s video has caused a great social repercussion.
People who interpret the same phenomenon differently according to experience or sensation gathered knowledge and will to find something more “correct.”
And once again, without fail, numerous experts and scholars gathered to have in-depth discussions and analysis about Mori’s video.
But who on earth can provide objective analysis and answers about a world that doesn’t exist in this time period?
The only thing that exists is the video uploaded to the video site, but even that can only be responded to by taking down the site’s servers, which only strengthens the circumstantial evidence that the video is indeed from the future.

“Then are you saying that the ruins in that video are really our future!”
“Then is there any evidence that it didn’t come from the future? The video analyst also said ‘no traces of manipulation could be found’ while watching the video. If not, it means someone created a set of that size without catching anyone’s eye, and this isn’t a movie. You know this doesn’t make sense, right?”

Mori’s video itself is evidence of human extinction being transmitted from the future to the past.
But 21st century humanity had no evidence to say that Mori’s video wasn’t the truth and wasn’t our future.

“…Then how many years does humanity have left?”
“That too… we can’t know at this point.”

People hoped that Mori’s video would be similar to the movie “The Truman Show.”
Before society was shaken any further, they wanted her to walk out of the set by herself, declaring that all of this was fake, that there was no such thing as the end of the world.
They hoped she would end the video with the famous line, “In case I don’t see you later, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.”
But Mori’s life and video were real. Just as our lives living in the 21st century are, they were simply truthful lives, so even people who denied it at first gradually had no choice but to believe.

In the end, within a few weeks, the atmosphere that Mori’s video was indeed from the future became dominant regardless of country and class.
At the same time, many people came to know that the extinction of humanity was also an unavoidable truth.
People showed different reactions in the face of the predetermined end.

“It’s something that will happen hundreds of years later, so who cares?”
There were those who lived today like yesterday, optimistically saying that even if humanity meets its end, it’s not their business.

“Ha. No matter how much money I earn and save now, it will all be useless in the end.”
There were those who put everything down, saying if the end is predetermined, isn’t this whole process meaningless?

“The only way to be saved from the coming end is only through our Lord God, believing in God!”
People praising God in hopes of receiving salvation for their souls, if not their bodies, also strode the streets.

And society, where these people mixed and clustered together, became literally chaotic.
In just a few weeks, negative thoughts and perceptions became the foundation of society.
Economic chaos ensued due to the surge in demand for disaster items and the withdrawal of workers.
To the extent that it felt like the end had already arrived.

“──First, proper communication must be possible. Even if real-time communication isn’t possible, the message that humanity wants to convey now must be properly delivered.”
But as they say, light exists even in darkness.
Even in a society thrown into confusion by the predicted end, human intellect was still shining.

“Haven’t we already tried everything worth trying? How exactly?”
Mori’s broadcast was extremely frustrating for scholars who were seriously concerned about the future of humanity and looking for ways to avoid the end.
Mori herself had little knowledge about the time period she belonged to.
She just wandered with only an unclear goal and destination.
It was unavoidable because Mori was not a person who lived in that time period, and didn’t even know that her video was reaching humanity in the past.
While exploring an unknown place and revealing her thoughts and feelings as they are might be very attractive and might be interesting and fun for ordinary viewers to watch.
It was regrettable for those who had to lead current humanity to escape the end through Mori’s video.

“Can’t we make it so that only authorized users can access the video?”
“I asked about that, and while it’s possible to take down the servers and make it accessible only within the company’s internal network, they say it’s not possible to do that for specific videos only.”
“Then isn’t that what we should do!”
“…They angrily asked if we would cover the financial losses incurred during that time. Along with the words, ‘Current business profits and market share are more important than the end of the world that might come someday.'”
“What a profound statement. Damn, yes. From that company’s perspective, her video is like a goose that lays golden eggs, so they might even hope this state continues.”
“Um… then could we create another video site and induce the video to be received there?”
“I’ve already tried that. It seems that only that site has left its name in the future hundreds of years later. It’s not surprising to see them prioritizing their own interests even in this situation.”

Is it because of the unit of hundreds of years despite facing the big problem of human extinction?
Even those who took the end seriously often recoiled and withdrew when asked to give up current benefits to solve the end.

“Ha ha, the ancient sage who said that animals only know death when faced with it, but humans use life meaningfully because they are conscious of getting closer to death with each moment must be crying in their grave.”
“That’s how the world always works, isn’t it? People don’t pay much attention to disasters until crises or calamities invade their daily lives, even if they know about them. If we weren’t in this profession, in this position, we would have shown the same reaction as them.”

Most of the people who are showing great interest in Mori’s video and have gathered in the conference room to actively solve the end are scientists, philosophers, and others who research and analyze space-time.
They were those whose profession was to explore universal truths such as time and space, and to use them to solve current problems.

“…Even if we can talk to her, can we really change the future?”

Amidst the discussions going back and forth day and night to solve the end, a man raised his hand. His name was Eugene, and he was a young physicist.
“Nothing is certain. But if we want to change even a little…”
“I’m asking if that ‘little’ is correct. I keep thinking… thinking that we are blinded by the immediate end and missing something more important.”

If the future where Mori exists is really our future.
Shouldn’t it be seen as a world that has resulted from the words and decisions of the people gathered around the table discussing now?
If an excellent idea that could change the future was conceived here and implemented globally, the future where Mori exists and the future we will live in would diverge.
Then, just as a time when an apple exists in one space and a time when it doesn’t cannot coexist.
Mori’s video should not continue to exist in the current time where the future has changed and escaped the end.
This meant that all the choices made here did not meaningfully change the future.
