One of my favorite parts of your post is when you wrote "Throwing stones at a giant won’t stop it, but starving it will." One thing I want to add to your post is the following question I wrote earlier today.

Thanks, I’ve been thinking a lot about how so many people are fed up with the system, willing to take to the streets and protest and what not, and yet nothing seems to ever change, so I’ve been trying to rack my brain for all the possible more useful means of resistance, and opting out/unplugging as much as we possibly can seems to me to be the best long-term solution, as if people don’t have an alternative, I think most will just stay in the system until the system forces them out, or it becomes too unbearable to take any longer (at which point creating alternatives will be much more difficult.
I like your question too, I’d say probably most people are controlled by their mouths, because what we say is just a reflection of our thoughts, and most people are run by their minds and thought patterns, rather than controlling their thoughts, in my opinion. Take care, and have a great week!
To take that a step beyond that, people are often not just controlled by their mouth, the dog is not just controlled by his tail to speak in a riddle.
People are also controlled by their habits, their mistakes, their choices both good and bad, subconsciously for the most part, they choose to do based on what they did as opposed to trying to rethink from a perspective of what they want to do, who they want to be, they often become like a rock rolling down a hill in how they make choices.
Meaning, decision-making can often be fueled by the gravity which can pull us down as if we were a rock seeking the path of least resistance downwards as opposed to trying take a second to stop the roll to possibly reevaluate choices.
By the way, running down hill is fun and the momentum fueled me to go faster and faster; but such a risk could end in disaster.
