THIS IS WHAT GOES THROUGH MY MIND WHEN SOME NPC TELLS ME "I AM FREE” Imagine feeling free when you have to pay for the privilege of living caged in a box, relying on someone else for food and water. You have to pay for your own slavery by working for a currency that someone can print out of thin air in an unlimited way by stealing its value. In the process you have to give up about 40% to a bunch of criminals just to avoid being caged. If you don't comply you get locked in a smaller, uglier box with other people who didn't follow the arbitrary rules that a group of criminals with guns wrote on a piece of paper. You need a ask for a permission, i.e. license to drive, own firearms and even start your own business. Even if you succeed you will pay perpetually for the privilege. You are constantly watched, bombarded with subliminal messages and your thoughts and ideas are carefully monitored. Your mind is programmed and you behavior controlled. The whole environment seeks to make you conform, to make you live in fear, with a scarcity mentality, with thoughts of inadequacy, with envy, with idolatry, demoralized, without hope. Spiritually, mentally and physically sick. This is how most of us live today and the saddest thing is that we believe we are free. The first step is to recognize that you are a slave and do something about it. The most revolutionary act is to stop participating, stop obeying, educate your mind, strengthen your spirit and your body. Be the best version of yourself. Call bullshit by its name and don't let them treat you like an idiot. Imagine, create and build.

Hello ~ I am CURIOUS what you mean by NPC here. This is a new concept for me so please take in stride any newbie naiveness.
NPCs = Non player characters i.e bots. Someone who doesn’t think for themselves. They just follow the current thing. You are probably familiar with the following meme. That face symbolizes the npc mentality. image

Thank you, this helps clarify what you are conveying in relation to my current flow. I understand your frustrations more easily.
Me: I wonder what those cool Nostr peeps are doing right now? Time to get inspired by their orange / purple pills. You: swallow this darn black pill! Swallow it! Good note. I'll go sit in a dark corner and cry for a bit, though.
"He who does not try to move will never feel his shakles" - I don't know who said that.
