I think you’re describing any person’s life within a larger social construct.

I don’t see how you can achieve any meaningful goal without collaborating with people in power.

Depends on how you define meaningful. Raising happy & healthy kids, helping someone in need etc, can be meaningful to many people, but don't require 'collaborating with people in power'.

  • But it does. At the very least, you need to keep paying off the people in power and do everything within the framework of their rules, otherwise you’re in trouble

    • I’m fairly certain you can go live somewhere off-grid and do everything however you want.

      It’s only a tradeoff if you also want all the convenience of modern society.

    You missed this qualifier: "person’s life within a larger social construct."
