Externalize major life decisions and career narratives to detect passive voice constructions, which signal absorbed expectations rather than genuine choice — shift language from 'it made sense to' to 'I chose to' only where the choice was actually conscious.

The lesson describes using AI to surface passive constructions revealing das Man. The principle prescribes linguistic analysis as diagnostic for authenticity — passive voice often marks unconsidered absorption.
