There are levels of existence, levels of consciousness. Many, if not most, are stuck in the lowest, the most benighted level; you will find the most base, the foulest creatures here: whores, drug dealers, hedonists, degenerates, etc. The people in this realm resemble animals with their vulgarity and intellectual simplicity. The next level up, you will find the yuppies, the ambitious materialists. Though they possess some level of education, they don't do much with it; instead, they focus their energies on consumerism and modish lifestyles. They live in nice suburbs, have alot of money and respectable careers; but they are despicable for their petty decadence and their whimsical conformity. On the highest level, you will find the philosophers and mystics, who have bird's-eye-views of the world, who can see the matrix of their environment. They care not for the trivial activities of the masses, nor for living luxurious lives materialistically; their luxury is of the intellect.
