Acharya Prashant states that one does not come into this world to have fun, but to be looted. The world is designed to make fools of people and continuously exploit them. He asserts that every system a person is a part of, if seen clearly, is a mechanism for their exploitation. He illustrates this with the example of hospitals. While they may now resemble five-star hotels, creating an illusion of progress, the reality is that the health of the average citizen has worsened, and the proportion of sick people, such as those with cancer, has increased. People are happy about super-specialty cancer hospitals but fail to question why so many are getting cancer in the first place. He questions whether people are truly being treated or are first being made sick so that they can be treated. He extends this analysis to the education system, which he calls the next institution of exploitation. He claims that schools are not for a child's self-development but for making them into 'mules' who can serve the needs of society, not themselves. Education is reduced to training for employment. For instance, if society needs more shoes, schools will start teaching shoemaking from childhood. These institutions, he argues, are not centers for self-development but dens of slavery, designed to make individuals socially useful rather than useful to themselves. This preparation for employment is a form of exploitation, even though it is revered with concepts like 'Teacher's Day'. This exploitation continues into economic life. Whether in business or a job, earning less or more, a person is always at a loss, though this loss is subtle and often goes unnoticed. People get outraged by a gross, visible robbery of their salary, but not by the subtle looting of their entire lives and youth. He points out that the immense wealth of some of the world's most foolish people is a direct result of this systemic looting of the masses, yet these figures are admired as followers rather than questioned. Acharya Prashant explains that this is the work of 'Maya,' the great swindler, who doesn't loot by force but by making people happy. He uses the example of women protesting against dowry, a gross form of exploitation, while readily giving away their entire lives in marriage, a far more subtle and profound exploitation. He concludes that the default answer to the world should be 'No,' as taught in the Upanishads. One must learn to say no, because whatever one says 'yes' to in this world becomes a means of being looted.
