I Have This Theory

 There's a TV show in Germany called 'Werewolf'...on for two seasons now.  It's a game-show.

There are twenty players....who pretend to be villagers in a town where some are secretly werewolves (killers). 

The goal?  Around four are selected secretly....by a moderator....to be the werewolves. The game then plays out....with a dead figure, and remaining players (really 15  at this point)....figure out who's who by talking, lying, and voting who they believe is the werewolves.

They basically talk, and talk, and talk....with the werewolves nearly always convincing the players to select a non-werewolf to eliminate.   After eliminating the innocent party....the moderator then gives the bad news....there's still four  werewolves. 

Then the werewolves secretly meet, and select another 'victim'....where the chatter occur,  and in 99-percent  of situations....the overall crew again select the wrong person as the werewolf.

Once you get to two innocent folks....the game ends, with the werewolves winning.

So I have this theory.....that on a mass scale....we  are playing werewolf daily.

Examples? Post-9/11 fear campaigns and the Patriot Act.  COVID policy debates (lockdowns, mandates, lab-leak cover-up vs. conspiracy overreach).  Russiagate vs. Hunter Biden laptop suppression.  Trans chatter  in schools and sports (where one side sees coordinated grooming, the other sees coordinated transphobic panic).  Migration crises used to inflame both xenophobia and open-borders ideology simultaneously.

Who invented werewolf?   Well....this gets interesting.  Dimitry Davidoff...invented the core game in 1986, while he was a psychology student at Moscow State University in the Soviet Union (now Russia). 

Why?   He created it as a social experiment and teaching tool to demonstrate how an informed minority can manipulate an uninformed majority.

In my theory....some folks are convinced they are informed.....when the reality is....they are NOT informed.

The question is.....how do we know that two innocent folks  remain....with the final four werewolves?
