And, I'm thinking, in your games as well.
Why else all the aggressiveness? Why else the automatic impulse for a confrontation?
It's all a type of conflict. Some people are just convinced they need it.
(opprobrium)
Player A wants something from their game [and maybe doesn't say it]. Other players don't, but there doesn't need to be a fight - you, as GM, can assert your authority. If none argues, there's been no fight, hence, there is no conflict. Period.
(/opprobrium)
Hiding from it doesn't make it vanish. I'm not interested in the conflicts, not even in winning them. I'm interested in making there not be any.

Dualism is a false idealogy, invented by outsiders who didn't want to accept how pervasive cultural laws are. If we do not know the Right way to see something, that only leaves us with the Wrong way. There are no other options. We all mouth the words "shades of grey", but just like every other unspoken communication, everyone knows that we don't really mean it, noone can be anytrhing but black or white at heart.

Over the entire series, not one person has been able to offer one shred of evidence, one whit of proof, one word of quotes - to support their allegations of "eliteness" that I supposedly possess. To hear them, I've been putting them down all along.
Really?
Wouldn't it be just fascinating to think that, all this time, they'd really just been putting themselves down?
Dualism.
It is an obstruction on the path I walk. I wonder if it helps the rest of you on your own? If it does, so be it - but leave it behind when you're trying to understand mine.
What serves as a signpost on some paths may be a blockade on others, and vice versa.
