[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 64972, member: 544"] The problem with that three-caste system is it’s still just a way to decorate the interior of the barn. It assumes that if we just "reach our potential" as scholars or warriors, we’ve somehow won. But it’s the same trap. If a herd of cows suddenly became intelligent enough to organize into "castes"—with wise cows and soldier cows—they’re still just livestock. They might feel more "fulfilled" in their daily lives, but they are still ultimately being managed and harvested by something they can’t even see. The "Mirage of Choice" is believing that picking a more illustrious career path or a better philosophy is the same thing as being free. It’s not. Real freedom isn't about being the best "warrior" or "CEO" in the pen; it’s about becoming smart enough to leave the farm entirely. The moment the livestock avoids being eaten—the moment we stop producing the "heat" and the drama these bottom-feeders live off of—is the moment we actually break the cycle. We’ve spent 300,000 years being told that happiness is found in these roles, but that’s just the gatekeeping at work. Whether you're a "donkey" chasing comfort or a "sage" chasing wisdom, if you're still doing it within their fabricated truth, you're still on the menu. The goal shouldn't be to master one of these three categories for a spiritual dopamine hit. The goal is to see the raw reality behind the poetic overlay and stop being a resource for entities that are terrified of the Infinite Star. [/QUOTE]
