    That’s absolutely true, but you can’t break bars or chains by getting stronger. You can learn to open the lock and blend in, turning the cell into a home, or you could learn about what’s outside, and how to survive in a world you’ve never seen

    But for most people, that’s not even possible. The truth is, there’s no warden, and the jailers are just in a nicer cell block.

    We did this to ourselves… There’s no dichotomy, there’s no paradise built on our suffering. There’s no one benefiting, even billionaires spend all their time jockeying for position and respect, and they’re as poisoned by the propaganda they push as the rest of us

    We’re all tangled up in imaginary rules. That’s the prison. It’s all made up, and we can, in fact, all just… Stop. We can just change the rules. We can play a different game

    Banding together and helping free each other is how you grind your way out
