Well, qolloquially it means to be a nobody. So in that sense I guess the latter, since that's what I'm used to already

It's easy to Be without Knowing but Knowing without Being is the biggest cause of dissatisfaction the modern man faces. Though the journey to Be is far more rewarding than simply Being.

If you are cute as an anime girl or smart as a white man, be or become (as being has become impossible in this world...)
If youbare ugly girl or stupid guy, go get absorbed into the absolute.
