According to my read, the degree of suffering in this reality is inversely proportionate to the amount of free will given to the sub-logoi. Based on history so far, sub-logoi given high degrees of free will choose to suffer in all manner of ways, and eventually seek to enslave one another.
However, this is not to say that a high degree of free will must needs result in all this suffering. Suffering is not the only option available for a sub-logos to choose. They just happen to keep choosing it over and over again in this creation. Sub-logoi could be given high free will, and just as easily choose joy.
Interestingly, this appears to be somehow tied up in the distortion of love. I am in particular thinking of various family dynamics where different members suffer for each other, but accept it as part of what it means to be loving.
There must be some way to preserve The Choice while setting things up for a more palatable road to freedom. Sub-logoi need to be completely free to choose suffering, and yet it should be glaringly obvious upon observing another choosing to suffer, that the suffering is unnecessary. In other words, it should be inherently obvious to all entities that there is always another choice available.
This is how sub-logoi in this creation get stuck in a rut so easily. They suffer because they truly see no other way. Global elitists and such ilk only exist because of the people's failure to perceive another way than what they are being offered. If the other ways are clear, there is no weakness to be exploited by STS. Therefore, STS if present will immediately see the futility of attempting to continue down that path.
This sounds to me like an important thing to carry over from this harvest: that there is always another way. If entities could somehow fundamentally understand this from the get-go... if it were part of their basic instinct rather than wisdom acquired through experience... I think it would bypass a lot of needless suffering while preserving a high degree of free will.
