I was on a flat earth vs round earth YouTube video and I said it's a cube and everybody asked what my problem is. They all put their differences aside to ridicule me.

It's both liberating and uncomfortable: once you see the machinery, you can no longer comfortably blame pure chance or external forces. Agency increases, but so does responsibility.
The antidote points toward is individuation; the lifelong process of bringing more of the unconscious into awareness through dream work, active imagination, honest self-reflection or whatever works.
The more of that hidden territory you map and integrate, the less life feels like it's happening to you and the more it becomes something you're actively participating in.
We experience the consequences as if they're imposed from outside, rather than recognizing them as expressions of our own disowned inner material (shadow aspects, unresolved complexes, unlived potentials).
Whatever remains unexamined and unintegrated in the psyche doesn't disappear; it manifests externally through events, relationships, patterns, and crises that feel like unavoidable "fate."
