I often see many people say: "You're right, but what can changing these things do?" Because in their view, knowing something but being unable to change the outcome immediately is meaningless. But this is a short-term perspective. The real issue is: a person's clear-headedness is never just about "whether they can change something right now," but about whether it changes their understanding, thereby changing their future choices. If someone remains confused and muddled for a long time, influenced by false information, every decision they make will push them toward worse results; whereas a gradually awakening person, even if they can't change the external environment immediately, is already changing their own path. Reality is never about instant turnaround, but about gradual shifts accumulated over time. Every truth you learn today will, in the future, lead to a more correct judgment, fewer mistakes, and choices that are less easily exploited. Of course, a person cannot change the world overnight, but the direction of the world is precisely shaped little by little by countless "gradually awakening people." When everyone thinks the truth is useless, society will be overtaken by lies; when more and more people are willing to see the truth clearly, rules will gradually become more transparent. So the question has never been "whether knowing is useful," but whether you are willing to let yourself become less easily manipulated and less prone to going astray over the long term. Clarity may not immediately change the outcome, but it will definitely change the future.
