>>6 "trying the fuck anyway". I sure hope >>4 is being hyperbolic when they say that no-one has the control to change their circumstances or the bravery to take the high road. The spoons to do it are scarce and hard to come by, and i too forgive failures, but it does happen. People do it. I've done it. Clawing at the bars means trying every single time even though the failure rate is high. I wouldn't call it a cage in the first place, pretty taught elastic leash fits better, but if we have to go with their cage metaphor then it is at the very least not a perfect one. Sometimes the monkeys manage to chew through the bars, and they sure as fuck don't do that when they have been psy-opd into placidity. for specific examples? I don't know, not wasting energy on harming someone who has slighted you if you don't get anything out of it? moving or otherwise breaking off from a toxic environment. Basic golden rule shit of being kind to strangers above and beyond common courtesy or posturing. It is possible to make this whole society thing work, you know. You don't have to shred all value in defection cascades.
