There's a lot of reasons why somebody would believe such a thing and how it could appear that way on the surface, but there's a lot more reasons why it isn't quite an accurate assessment. We've gone into this in several other threads, but I think some key points are either being missed or outright ignored. I'd be lying to say the thought had never popped into my mind before, because it seems like STS have it easy-society is set up to benefit them and they get to fulfill their desires, stay youthful at old ages from not stressing out about caring about other people(just look at Kissinger, he's living proof that the "good die young"). They are left alone and not challenged and attacked by STO entities, because that's now how STO works, while on the other hand, STS forces are always a thorn in the side of anyone trying to polarize positively. STS appear to control their own destiny, while STO just have to eat what's handed us, which is usually just a big plate of arbitrary suffering. This is how things appear on the surface, all though maybe it's a matter of perspective, which is all we really have. We can't change the shitty system, but we can change our perspectives therefore our relationship to it.
In some ways, the STS path almost seems to sell itself, until one realizes that to be effective at it in a 3d environment, one must screw over innocent people who are either STO or just stuck in the sinkhole(most of which have a higher plan towards STO that is just taking a little longer to realize there's even a choice). I don't know about you, but I just can't. No matter how shitty things are, how I don't agree with dogmatized versions of STO that tell you to be a martyr/sheep with no boundaries, I just can't screw over innocent people. I'm angry at a system of suffering, so I could not live with being a person who makes others suffer for my own gain. There's just something in my principles, in my character and very soul that resists such a thing outright. I guess you could call it empathy, and it is that, but it's also integrity, it's just not who I am.
It may sound arrogant, but that's the difference in strength between me and most of the humans that end up choosing STS; they enjoy/need to screw over unsuspecting and innocent people, "soft targets" if you will, which is why when they finally make "the cut" and get to a planet where there are all wolves and no sheep, they get beat down to the bottom ranks and end up serving the higher-ups. Throw me in a place like that where I knew there were no innocents and everyone was playing the STS game, I'd have no problem screwing them and climbing the ladder so I could get enough energy to flip polarities, but in a mixed 3d world, I just can't bring myself to choose STS or screw over innocent people. Can you?
