Watch the scene closely: Cooper resents a world that grounded him. A world that demanded adaptation at the cost of identity.

But when he pulls the drone from the sky, disassembles it, and tells Murph: “It needs to learn how to adapt… like the rest of us,” he becomes the very force he hated.

That’s projection. Pain that wasn’t processed becomes a pattern that gets repeated. Often quietly, automatically, without intention.

Many men inherit rules they never chose: adapt, shrink, survive, don’t feel. And without noticing… they pass them forward.

If this resonated with you, stay for next Thursday’s episode. It goes deeper.
