"If «most people» don't «understand» you then you need better communication-skills."

That's not the problem. If most people are used to a system, it's incredible difficult to make them understand alternatives. I say "most" people, because in my experience, it's about 95% of the people I tried to offer new ideas. As far as I understand it now, there's a "barrier" inside their mind that blocks thinking about new ways. You can compare it to an AI where the weights are wrong. The synapses just don't fire, because the barrier fires first.

This barrier can have multiple causes – trauma, violent parenting, religious indoctrination – but it's always difficult to overcome. The best way seems to be what Farsight calls the wilderness. Being confronted with situations where you are forced to think about new ways in order to prevent death or stagnation.

"He found a way around them using the laws themselves and finding the loophole in them."

It's because artificial laws (the magical boon) are always illusions, and illusions can't be perfect by definition (because if they were, they would become reality). In this story, the laws are based on language, and the loophole was the imperfect definition of the words.

All artificial laws are based on language, because those laws express what the tyrant wants, and therefore always are as imperfect as the tyrant's mind.

Natural laws work without language. Because nature doesn't have to interpret them.

"Bro, the same behaviour has also been exhibited from yourself on these forums, too."

Well, that's obviously not my fault. If I don't understand the alternatives you have to offer, it's because you need better communication skills. 😉

talk about how they're not getting involved in sovcit ramblings . . .

And then plan out their tax filings trying to figure out what brackets they fit and fill out their passport application and scrounge for rent and compliance.

Because indeed, the system often rewards subservience. So if we can reinforce the image that it's a complete concrete package that has no loose ends it feels clean and whole.

And if we can just focus our spiritual energy against the DEW fires clearing the way for smart cities we can always blame the victims as people who just didn't properly manifest their universe.
