Society can be viewed like that, yes. We're all born into this world and we cannot leave. But I think that's where it ends. People can make choices. When it comes to processing the world around us, I believe the first branch or fork in the road boils down to two types, of course. Simply labelled Observers and Consumers. The observer sees their environment; the consumer becomes their environment.
That is a brilliantly succinct way of dissecting it. I like the way you think. I've just been reading the comment thread with that Amirl character on his own feed and it's a perfect example of choices having been made but not wanting to take the ownership of said choices.
There's a lot about society at the moment that I don't like and pulling the race card and throwing tantrums when people don't get their way is one that really fucking irritates me. It's pathetic and shows just how little of the world people like that grasp. They don't have a leg to stand on but choose to get up onto their little soapboxes trying to pull people into an argument that is based on bullshit assumptions. I don't have time for people like that because they are as toxic as they come. Trying to help them is futile and they will simply self destruct when their tantrums don't have the desired effect of garnering support they so desperately wanted to empower them and make them feel that the behaviour was justified. It's pathetic.
That would be a consumer. Trying to suck the energy out of everything and everyone and almost annoyingly oblivious. Can't see a damn thing. Like they're walking down that road with their head down and earbuds in. Everything new is a shock. The observer would have seen ten steps ahead and never put themselves in that mess to begin with. Observer can still make mistakes. Then would see solutions. A problem solver, not a problem maker.
