“We are much more suited for dancing than for whatever it is that we have been doing.” - Terence McKenna

Mentioning Cassandra is a good metaphoric way for you to see, but also trap you up in the hub bub of existence.

I see it and you as this: there is in the complexities a simple path that sees the truth, which is simple single celled organisms evolved from hunter gathering to society which has a interplay that requires the majority play along and find a simple role. If you choose or gifted to see deeper, you either join the dominator class and rule yourself, become a hermit of sorts observing and finding simple pleasures and stoic outlook, or go mad and angry at the game obviously rigged to power structures transparently feeding themselves at even the cost to themselves.

I suggest you reach hard to grasp how futile it is to hold bitterness at the mass compliance and hysteria. I suggest you carve out a balance that allows anger then forgives and understands its source , and contrast to alot of your desire, become like the stoics and stop desire to change others. Enjoy the experience even the ugly. For when we surrender most of the time, doors open. You seem to be a a precious vulnerable point where nothing will sooth you because you feel alone which in retrospect is a good place to be on the evolutionary scale.

I can say you're probably doomed a bit if you continue to want to express frustration yet seek change in others.

The stoics suggest things and if people bite and taste truth, they'll come back to feed. We are monkeys after all. If you serve up bitter pills, they will further isolate you. You're not Wrong. You're not delusional. You're not fighting a bad war.

But you're in conflict. And if not equipped with superior tactics and arms you will lose. So pick your battles to win.

Often not playing is the only true win. Perhaps take a god view and comprehend, and address nothing, and let the universe show you how Ape like you really are, if you can forgo the need to reproduce but enjoy the fruits of sensuality, to feel bonds and really Love with care concern and respect, unconditional, paths will open up showing you the way, and like a stoic, if not, so be it.

Your complexity may be your undoing. Breathe deep and view the natural order of things and see human complexity as a mere offshoot of simple supply and demand, survival, and need to be loved and part of a healthy group.

Your needs are understood. The solution I do not have, but I can say where the pitfalls are for some.

I suggest sporadic endulgance of psychoactive substances where you are fit but none repeated or abused. I suggest biographies of past souls and reflection. I suggest quiet time alone in nature with phone off. Then phone on. Compare and contrast. Observe. Let things ride. See where your ego wants to instruct and smack down simpletons. Realize we are simpletons.

Attempt Love. Care concern and respect, that's all Love really scientifically is on a clinician scale.

Detachment . Tao. Peace.
