In the final episode of the first season of Dexter, Dexter chooses his socially acceptable "fake" family over his "real" family, and compassion over being his true self. I felt he made the right choice, but did he? Does one polarize most efficiently when being their "truest" self? Or does being your truest self hinder social interaction and therefore limit opportunities to polarize? Or could one polarize STO by only loving one person, or even a non-human?
It seems like if one is polarizing rapidly they'll appear "weird" to most people because they believe in things which are unpopular yet truthful. STS doesn't seem to have as much of a problem with this because psychopaths are adept at appearing normal and even popular, but someone well on their way to becoming an STO adept probably constantly doubts them self and whether their actions and thoughts are STO or not, where as I don't think STS entities have much self doubt.
Your thoughts?
It's not easy in 3D. In this 3D it is definitely not easy as our people still haven't grasped that needle and pointed it in one direction, choosing their polarity, even in these last days of master cycle.
But my thoughts in response to what you are writing are that it is not so much about "conforming" to society, but more about harmonious interactions between people in a society.
