A question that comes up often in my writing is, "Why do we live like this?" Or rather, "Why do we put up with this?" And the answer is usually: "Because you end up alone and outside of society otherwise." Assuming there is an "outside" in the first place.

It's like anti-capitalists calling people "suckers." Like, look, I've got bills to pay if I want to eat tonight. I know it sucks. But we either work together to make a better world or we each die alone in the private prison cell in our heads.
