Knowledge workers having a good time and treating each other kindly and being inclusive about the future is actually so profoundly terrifying to the machine that they have to construct the most elaborate mental prison possible to convince you you can't be that way

They are working against your own psychology but they're doing a good job at it! They're exploiting the parts of you that respond to threat, and they're dangling always conditional belonging in front of you to convince you that you have to cling to groups and leaders and Technical Superstars that you secretly hate looking up to. The only way past this is seeing through it.
