Or it doesn't have to be the most.

What is coming together and being right?

What does that look like?

think and plan.

But it is exactly how human culture always works, okay?

So everything you're talking about, the way your life is supposed to work, I don't see it filling you with joy and freedom.

You just have a strong belief that that's how things are supposed to go.

So if you're left alone to do it, it's like, oh, I have to do this.

It's still not freedom, but there are all these people pressuring you in subtle ways, sometimes almost unseeable, and you're responding to them.

I have to do this because...

If I don't set this up right, my life will be unlivable because this is the way the culture says it's supposed to look and how the institutions are set up, how the money is set up.

I have to do what the culture says.

And you're already like, the wild part of you is going, why?

So the whole cultural thing is about force and pushing.
