STO may seem to get the short end of the stick some times but Ra said people on the STO path are protected to some extent from negative catalyst, people on the STS path aren't. And the STS path is way harder over all. Sometimes I wonder about social interaction: conversation is based on both participants inquiring about the others interests, whether they are genuinely interested or not, but this seems to make social interaction overall slightly more STO biased, and social interaction is pretty much the core of 3D. I suppose someone polarizing to STS would have to overcome their disinterest in what someone else is saying and keep sight of the bigger picture that doing this action will help them control others, the same way we would overcome disinterest by keeping sight of the fact that we're all one and listening would this person feel better, but it must be hard to overcome disinterest when your path is based on finding as many ways as possible to prove to yourself that you and others are separate.
