I really love your perspective and how you tied everything together. The beauty of this show is that it presented a very tough and philosophical topic in a creative way, and you would be able to tell how certain viewers view this show as just entertainment not reality. The survival of the baby is a metaphor for the rare ~1% of people in this materialistic, captalist driven world that are selfless.

The question of whether humans are inherently evil or just shaped by systems is exactly what makes Squid Game so compelling. The ending didn’t feel clean or perfect, but it felt honest, like Gi-hun’s choice was a quiet rebellion, a refusal to become numb. Choosing the baby over himself was a beautiful metaphor for hope.
