I would disagree that STS should be defined as seeking the self. Self understanding is service to self, but it is not at the expense of others. And as a matter of fact the result of discovering the true self is in discovering that you are not an individual self, but that you are only complete as one with the others.
STS is in my opinion and speculation, greed and sacrifice of the well being of others in order to gain for your illusionary and temporary self, and in full understanding of the consequences of your deliberate choice.

Of course I do.
“Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.”
Okay, I see what you were doing then. You were simply stating that any path that leads others to the truth of magic still results in the same revelation, even though you would not enjoy the particular environment of that path yourself..
