accept some Reality as valid and genuine one, which may not be as it is made to look and exist. Therefore, everything is a game of ‘Optimization’ and it beautifully fits into the innate scheme of things in nature. How?

Reality is never singular; we all know that. Our own human world is full of infinite shades of realities, which we term as personal truths or subjective ones but equally valid and true for those who have it, live by it and even die for it. Therefore, My Reality may not be Your Reality and the vice-versa. Naturally, You and I have to compete with our subjective realities, if we are restricted to survive in a closed milieu. Optimization instinct is in all of us but whether You or I is a better scamster, shall depend on how much intelligence one adds to this instinct of scamming. That is why humans invest such premium on intelligence and smartness…

So, we all play smart and remain invested in the perpetual game of one-upmanship intelligence about attempting to make others accept a Reality, which stands profitable for us. However, in popular vocabulary, this is not called scam but intelligence or smartness; thanks to instinctive propensity of mind consciousness for denial. It shall become scam; in popular public acceptance, if the money-gain is involved or in anyway, it transgresses the boundaries of prevailing laws of the land, which itself is not singular. Also, given the wide support scamsters have in politics, religion, judicial system, governments and cultures; it is highly probable that only .01 percent of all valid scams get busted and scamsters punished. But, we are not talking about these scams…

This populist smartness-intelligence element is unashamedly flaunted and celebrated in every sphere of contemporary human world – politics, commerce, cultures, religion, academics, art, society, family, et al. And, most of us are ever-willing to accept the biggest of scamsters (smart-achievers) in all these domains as celebrities and go out of ways to ape them with fanfare. Why?

If we look at the macrocosmic picture, we can readily accept that essentially, the core culprit of humanity is the innate Plurality of Reality. As there are infinite shades of Reality, there stands an embedded potential of infinite probabilities of Scams – deceptions and tricks about presenting a Reality. As humans are essentially belief-led species; never instinctively curious about reality or factuality, it is amazingly easy for a man or woman to believe anything, which a smart trickster can make him or her to. This belief-based personal reality is a facilitative space, which makes scam an easy and often a spontaneous proposition. The smart operators in politics, religion and commerce use this facility to scam millions and ensure their profit maximization.

Scientifically speaking, humans have this instinctive urge to know. Our consciousness is designed for this inquisitiveness to optimize survival. This however is the seed of most human problems. Science says, ‘In our need to know, we readily adopt; become convicted of, literally hundreds of thousands of beliefs, based on our interpretation of our experiences, personal inferences, assumptions, probabilities, deductions, inductions, syllogisms, the beliefs of others, and myriad generalities. Most of these are subjective and subconscious’. Therefore, naturally, most, what an average person accepts as ‘I Know’, are beliefs; not facts.

This reality, which modern science has begun to understand and unravel, has been deciphered around 3000 years back and has been well documented in ancient India’s Yoga philosophy. It details the troubles of human belief system and cognitive conflations in a very objective way. How and why? As we have said before, reality is not what anyone can create. It is already there, since ages and anyone, who has this galvanized and evolved consciousness, can understand it, as those handfuls did around 3000 years back.

The core idea is; if there is one reality for not only 7.5 billion people but all zillions of living beings, there can probably be no deception, no trick and no duality of acceptance. A computer probably cannot scam other computer; given they have same hardware-software design; or even otherwise! Humans can! They can make one computer scam another one. And they always do…

This Plurality of Reality is the primary culprit of almost all ills of humanity. Scams or any other behavioral malaise of human world are only the innate and embedded manifestations of this core and critical realism that Reality is never singular. This one scam is the mother of all scams. Tragically; this is our design!

For example; the biggest and most widespread ‘scam’ for humanity is probably the religion. There are over 4000 religions and millions of gods and goddesses. People also clearly know about this larger Reality about Reality of Religion and Gods. Yet, majority of humans still do not accept the scam and never cease to get scammed. Religion is one single platform, which probably scams most people and in most ingenious ways. In long history of humanity, these faith-based scammed cognitions have killed millions of humans and still continue to kill thousands. Most of us know very well who are the scamsters, who are scammed and how. Still, we do not come out of the scam. This happens because the Reality of Divinity has infinite shades and it is possible because of different perceptional realities and belief-systems of every other human. Scam is our design.

If in more than ten thousand years of human civilization, the humanity could not be wise enough to accept this scam and make appropriate collective corrective measures; despite few geniuses in all timeline warning against it; it is more than clear that human species is the worst scammers of the universe. The contemporary humans of 21st century are worse than worst of the scamsters because, they survive primarily owing to objective scientific and technological knowledge of collective humanity and still, dump it all to stand in blind and deaf denial of the transcendental scam. It also clearly proves that it is the human design to live, prosper and continue in scam. This is key aspect of the scam we shall deal with later…

For that matter, science is also a huge platform for scam. Loads of people are scammed by tricksters making them believe that something is scientific, even when they are essentially a gimmick. It happens because science also is not singular in the large perceptional world of humanity. Different people have different ideas, notions and beliefs about science and therefore, it is easy to scam people in the name of science too. This is the trouble of the human design! When God can be scammed; why not science! Essentially, for most humans; knowledge does not matter; only faith and belief matters and therefore, only that knowledge is accepted by most humans, which suit their faith-belief-structure. The plurality of reality prospers and so does the scam…

Most scams smartly mix up reality with deception. Be it religion or science, both become tools for scam primarily because scamsters intelligently create a hypothesis based on Reality and then top it up with Deception. For example, there are zillions of nutritional supplements and vigor enhancing prescriptions in the markets and people buy them in loads. It is a multi-billion dollar industry. All of them shall tell you that it has minerals; it has those chemicals and other nutrients, which science has proved to be critical for health. True. But then, nobody shall tell you that there is no scientific evidence of foolproof health benefit of external supplementation of minerals and chemicals. Minerals are critical for health is scientific fact but then scam enters the domain when supplements claim they are great for health as they have them. Science keeps telling you that some of these supplements can actually harm you but nobody takes it seriously. This scammed life-living is our design…

Moreover, it is also known to everyone that health and vitality is a holistic idea. Minerals, vitamins et al may be great but they are only one small ‘part’ of the holism of healthy life-living and overall wellness. Taking supplements itself may just be a small ‘part’ of the overall regime of health-vitality enterprise. However, the adverts of the supplements scam you, trick our mind consciousness by presenting them as the thing for health, vigor and wellness. These scams billions of people happily buy. This scam is our design.

For example, it is a scientific fact that vitamin C is crucial for wellness and human body does not produce it. Therefore, people need to eat food rich in Vitamin C. However, it is not scientifically proven whether oral pills loaded with Vitamin C can be as good and effective as natural food. But, people buy and consume them in loads believing that it is great stuff. This is scam…

However, we are discussing scam not for all these troubles of humanity. We are into the holism of scam for a larger purpose. It is arrived when we get into the core reality of not only scam but its Causality. This is what we are doing. We are attempting to gradually arrive at the core causality of scam. When we accept scam as a shade of reality, which is not reality but a deception or trick of Reality; we arrive at the holism of scam. Scam is essentially a shade of reality, which means; it has elements of or parts of the Reality but loads of fake or unreal elements, intentionally or unintentionally done for gains.

This hypothesis about the broad-based definition of scam brings us to the core causality of all scams. Scam happens because there is part knowledge or acceptance of a Reality. People usually know a small bit; part information and have little inclination to have full and complete knowledge of a Reality. This propensity to grab and relish ‘partial’ truths and happily ignore the holism; is our design. This part knowledge, or what we can call as knowledge of just a shade of the holism of Reality makes us susceptible to scam. Scam can happen only when there is part knowledge. This ignorance about the holism of Reality actually creates a scam. This is some innate potential, anyone can be lured to avail and scam others to optimize survival potentials. All humans scam others in one way or the other. We then scam more to erect a façade of denial.

Be it religion, be it science, be it business and commerce, be it politics; most scams happen with those people who are trigger happy with their partial knowledge and are not inclined to update their knowledge to the holism of Reality. The vast majority of those people, who prioritize faith over knowledge, are easiest prey of scams as their faith has veritable mix of reality and beliefs. It happens because scam is not an act or external process of deception. It is essentially a vast domain of consciousness, where there is vacuum of uncertainty; because of lack of knowledge about the holism of Reality.

Every day, loads of scammed info are intentionally circulated in personal media, social media and even the mass media. The broad and universal intention of the scamsters floating such scammed information is to create multitude of shades of a reality so that majority of people should remain uncertain about the true and real Reality. When people have multitude of ‘part’ knowledge, it is the ideal situation for scamsters. Scam is essentially about flooding the milieus with plurality of reality, so that collective unconscious of majority of people remains multi-dimensionally faith-centric, rather than singularly knowledge-centric.

For example, it is estimated that around 25 percent of internet users are scammed involving billions of dollars. This is the figure of those, who are scammed of their moneys. If we include those, whose personal data have been compromised or have fallen prey to fake information, et al, we may very well have half the internet users falling prey to one or other form of scams. This means, over 2 billion people have been scammed just because they use some devise run on internet. Globally, there are awareness efforts to educate average people about
