The winning and losing of games is supposed to be your guide. You go where you're winning and leave where you're losing. The pain is to guide you, not hurt you.

There is a common misunderstanding of what "winning all the way" means. Being the "Chosen One" doesn't mean you win every battle. It means you know when you're beaten. Via humility, you can following the Path.

This problem occurs when a streak of "winning" leads one to become addicted to the winning rather than the path. To be "privileged" is to have an unusually long streak of winning due to parents "helping" you.

To be privileged means to be addicted to the pleasure of winning. It is to find the humility before the divine shameful. It is the arrogance of one who spites "god" and thinks that one knows better.

This is the arrogance of "Something else should have happened."

It is harmful because it encourages one to "correct the world" by molding it to an internal mental model of Heaven. Since the task is impossible, a life lived this way suffers to its end, creating negative energy their entire life.

The paradox of privilege is that it is the False path but it is also the path that brings you highest in society. Society wants winners because "Society" is a non-infinite entity trying to keep itself together in a dangerous world with other societies.

What most people want for their "dream" to be IS to be privileged. IS to be a Winner. They entrap themselves in a system of slavery because of this shame. They want to be the bigger demon one day so they slave away without complaint. They know themselves to be hypocrites.

Most people, because of this inner conflict, can't argue their point convincingly. They can't say why the 1% is bad with conviction or without borrowed meme energy. They know something isn't right but deep down they want to BE the 1%. This core error is as big as an extra 0.

That is to say. A Loser who feels shame cannot criticize the Winner because to be a Loser means to have submitted your will to the Game.

The message they scream of "Tear down this Game!!!" is somewhat correct. When there isn't any other game then participation in a game is slavery. Right now, huge swaths of the world are enslaved by the money system.

What defines a "slave" is a sense of helplessness to the "powers that be". Most people are slaves to money even if they don't think of themselves as slaves. There's a sense of resignation and thus helplessness about the whole financial system.

"I shouldn't have to feel like a slave everyday!" is a Divine Thought. It the points the way to Being. But its follow-up thoughts that are acted on are not necessarily so. e.g. "It must be because I'm _____ "

Often times maturity is the realization that those in power are just as enslaved as you are. Perhaps the gods are slightly different.

Everyone is just trying to do their best. Even the people who take center stage now in a cast of angels and demons: Zuckerberg, Trump, Musk, Trump, Putin, etc... Everyone is just trying to live up to their responsibilities to what is expected of them.

Like.. the Supreme Representatives for Russia/China/USA really really really like their own country and will use unfair tactics to make it better. WOW. Like really? How is unfair even defined? Who created this current Game?

The issue with Tearing Down Games is that you can't tear town THE Infinite Game without also destroying reality. That is, you can't change what IS. It's literally impossible. Only What Will Be.

"Down with this game." is immature when it comes from the voice of someone who isn't able to tell apart the differences in importance of finite and infinite games. You can't destroy a game until you understand what it's for just like you can't tear down a fence.

If a game's existence is there only because there's literally NO OTHER GAME, then that game is a critical life-line to the players the game supports. "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others" Now replace Democracy w/ "Current Financial System"

"Money is the worst God except for all the others." This is true. This is true in every situation except for one...when Actual God is there (in whatever form it is).

Yes. The current financial system is NOT the real god. But it seems to be working okayish given its burden. While individual humans can see God, The spirit of Countries are too lumbering to see the light.

To tear down the systems that maintains the relationships between countries is to destroy Money as God for these countries. Within this darkness and without a lifeline to God, countries will fall back to their old God. The worship of themselves.

"People" are just ideas. At every moment the idea of "Me" has some sort of sentiment towards the future. People follow paths in the same was as "Countries"

At the individual level, the sense of "winning" and "losing" is supposed to guide you on your path. When a country exhibits this same understanding, playing to its strengths, it follows the right "path".

A smaller country is more diplomatic for example. A country with fewer resources invests more in education. They don't pick fights where they might "die" as an idea due to lack of faith from the people.

Both the individual as well as the aggregate ideas kept alive by the individual both can get addicted to winning or being the best. This leads to riskier and riskier behavior to prove the ability to "Win" because the identity has been confused for "winning"

Pain no longer points the way. It becomes a masochistic fetish. Each moment in life becomes a desperate competition to see "who can bear the most pain."

It's a game of stupid men butting heads for the most part as the women in childbirth watching from the side can confirm.

There are different ways to Lose your Way based on the different ways we respond to pain and pleasure. Or most commonly... become "numb" or "unresponsive" to.

Being unresponsive to pleasure means you don't know how to get better, nothing gives you joy anymore. Being unresponsive to pain is stoicism. You don't know what not to avoid.
