The Advancer tries to be most useful for civilization
Advancers follow their own curiosity and build their own independent understanding. As a result they have a very good understanding about a lot of different fields. This is how they become irreplaceable
Advancers think fundamentally about the world and the value they can provide
Advancers deeply care about doing the right thing and they work very hard
Advancers bring humanity into an exciting future
Maintainers
The Maintainer's main aim is to be liked by society. So they engage in things that are seen as good by society but that aren’t necessarily good for civilization as a whole
Maintainers don’t form independent and creative thought. They don’t care about truth
They follow generic education and end up in gruelling competition and sameness
This is how they become replaceable
Maintainers don’t have very strong convictions and they are easily influenced
They can’t create new value because Maintainers don’t think from fundamentals
Maintainers create regulations, undermine merit and hold humanity back
The second group is mostly present today
One can also think of Thinkers and Repeaters. Or Players and NPCs
Unfortunately the second group was always the dominant group
People don't really think and question things. They are not active but reactive
They are slaves to the system and act in protection of it without realising
Conclusion
People that repeat or are NPCs are essentially not connected to their light beam
They are not connected to what they truly love. They are not fulfilling their potential
They are confused by all the things the environment, the state and the media tells
If you are offended by any of this, then you most likely think like a Maintainer
Our current civilization creates Maintainers, Repeaters, NPCs. Unless we do something about it. It will stay the same
As long as there is a majority of Maintainers, mankind is at risk
Because the world cannot stay in stasis. It has to grow. There is no way around it
The best thing we can do is to be an Advancer ourselves and inspire others
Just imagine how much more beautiful civilization will be when we all focus on it
The progress of the last decades was really dull compared to what could be
The very nature of a human is curiosity and improvement. Doing what inspires us
Also the real fun comes from the doing, solving problems and moving towards a better future
