The banks, the UN, the executives, the immortal soul-sucked black hooded string pullers, the international superpowers, the invisible hand, Satan, or -- *shudder* -- teenagers??

Anyways what do you say..!

You are.

And by that, what you choose to pass on to your child

The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening. Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless...

Anyone motivated and cunning enough to convince others of their importance
even if you're malicious or not actually important at all

Capitalism unfortunately. Capitalism exacerbates the human condition of greed and permeates through everything. It has changed a lot of society's way of thinking about society itself, especially when it comes to livelihoods and poverty because the way most people think about economic (in)justice is from the perception of superiority and "working hard enough" and that if one is poor or struggling it's because of the lack of both from the perception of many times a government and the more privileged.

Even scarier: No one.

Yep. All those myths about the Iluminatti, the (((bankers))) or whatever is many times our way of not accepting that no one is in real control. Some people have more influence but not even them can predict what's going to happen. Events like Brexit and Trump's election should be recent indicators of this.

Bingo

That's not scarier to me, some unseen shadow manipulater with a dubious agenda running things is far more insidious to me, give me rudderless ship any day.

At least those unseen manipulators would want want the world to continue to exist in some form. We're lucky we haven't destroyed ourselves yet. Everyday we role the dice and eventually we're going to "win".
