You can't self-actualize unless you are 100% committed to the conformist Rat Race
Which is funny, since that's antithetical to the process of self-actualization!
Exactly: but capitalism wants people to think that this is self actualization, regardless.
And you can't live in it and opt out. This was the real lesson I learned from the whole Matrix Cult situation, while Draven was constantly screaming that I was a brainwashed normie obsessed with money. But he wanted things from capitalism. It was a constant war to keep him in enough cigarettes and McDonalds hamburgers and Subway sandwiches and drugs and trinkets that he was happy and placated enough for him not to want to physically threaten anyone. And that took money.
But the whole time, I thought the whole point of the constant "bi-location" was to try and opt out? But that's not possible. Like, we'd have to really go "off grid" or leave the U.S. to do that, and "off grid" is the last place I'd want to be stuck with someone who has a tendency to wave a knife around when he wasn't getting what he wanted.
