Realizing that you are completely engulfed in a Fiat world is a layered process. I’m 56 years old now and my first inkling of this was in my 20s when I was studying gold and silver. The next realization came in medical school and early medical practice seeing that there was two distinct classes of people and two distinct ways they were treated. Now, as I have discovered and am studying bitcoin, I am seeing many additional layers of fiat society, fiat relationships, and Fiat reality. Don’t beat people up because they are not at your same level of understanding. Humility and compassion are part of the real world, use them daily.

Think that is part of the whole stacking sats and staying humble thing.
While I agree, there will be points where you will reach a humility/compassion/frustration/etc threshold and need to cut people out of your life for the sake of your own continued growth and sanity.
What were the two distinct classes of people you noticed and what were the two distinct ways they were treated?
This realm is dualistic by design & this dualism is very hard to escape.
What we have control over is how we define this dualism. That is to say the scales on which we define & perceive things.
The worst scale you can use is good & bad/evil. Nothing is inherently good or bad, it is us that give things meaning.
I prefer to see people as existing somewhere on the Trust - Responsibility scale. Do they surrender their power to others or do they take responsibility for their experience? This is also a reflection of how they interact with others & you. Those that readily trust others may also seek to control your actions.
