You cannot be strong until being wrong does not mean anything to you because you can't be bothered with these petty self-esteem distractions. People cannot live with the uncertainty of changing as you learn by the hour and it is the fact that they cannot live with it that identifies their stupidity.
Everyone has to stay still in their mind. Everyone has to exist relative to their identity and self esteem. These desires are petty and stupid and not necessary to the more sophisticated people that have moved past it. The desire for that is the primary limiting factor in their "Awareness Intelligence" and growth.
A real life example goes like this. When an at-peace person sees someone of great potential they think of all the things they can do with them to obtain even more absolute power for themselves, or for humanity. An unsophisticated person is worried about what they mean for the relative power and image in the society, because their fist is clenched so tight they cannot sustainably pivot from defector to cooperator in the prisoner's dilemma: possible by decoupling their identity and self-esteem from the moment and redefining it by the moving average of growth. The real hard part comes from getting impatient waiting for everyone else to see the light.
