The systems fear timidity more than courage.
Timidity's a unique form of resistance:
not calculated, forced, or feigned.
Thus it must be broken, is the logic.
Demonized. Degraded. Turned into terror.
Timidity's the bravery of instinct.
The systems need people to cast off
less useful responses, leaving the ones
that help extract the most value.
Thus timidity must be turned into fear
or numb surrender. One someone says,
"Don't be shy," consider it an order
and respond accordingly.
