Another perspective on how "cooperation" is absolute in this world. The post which prompted me to talk about it the other day was discussion something that Crowley apparently said: That everything must be in plain sight, because a strange quirk of this universe demands that the deceived must consent to their deception.
Again, it's an issue which you'll never actually understand from listening to others, and as all things real there is infinite depth to it. If you decide to simply take things at face value and try to run with it, you'll hurt yourself.
One particular method of securing the cooperation of others that I want to point out however, so you can be aware of how it's used against us, is by creating large logic structures which contain many different ideas, then seek to secure people's acceptance of the whole. Something like how the government will pass massive omnibus legislation with many different things which have no real relation at all.
