Many of the principles
@Sinapse puts forward would be lauded in a business setting. All but perhaps 6 and 9 could be taken right out of any corporate leadership curriculum. The point is nothing happens in business or personal if you mindlessly and passively accept the status quo put in front of you. I would go as far to say that if you are in any leadership position in business and accountable for growing it and you don’t adopt these kinds of principles, your career will likely be short lived indeed.
The societal double standards outside the office however deem you should keep your head down. Maybe play video games, eat your potato chips and McDonalds, binge on Netflix or online shopping, play with your iPhone 24/7 or whatnot. Who gets to decide this? The Matrix is not some fantasy story. Of course like in business, things illegal or which cause harm to others should not be accepted. However, a lot of what society says is “good and proper” roles for both men and women is bullshit. Those who participate here on TAG have already somewhat embraced that. I perceive what
@Sinapse is saying is that these societal constructs can be challenged.
Personally, I feel the nampa lifestyle involves a helluva lot of time and energy for the pursuit of getting laid. But anyone could judge someone in the business world for the time and energy they put into the pure pursuit of making more money (than they probably really need anyway). I choose to judge neither case. But I do approve of those who at least consider that the constructed world around them is not what it seems. This is the start of being awake.
