Kafkaesque
Jessie: Say he's getting 40 a pound. 200 pounds a week. For three months. And like, what happens at the, the end of the three months?
Walter: ...
Jessie: Look whate-whatever. Two hundred pounds a week for three months. That's 24 hundred pounds. 24 hundred times forty thousand is, and I swear to God, I checked this like ten times--
Walter: Ninety six million dollars.
Jessie: Ninety six million dollars. All right? Ninety six. Million. Ninety six to our three. That is messed up, yo.
And the next episode is The Fly. Now, the events of The Fly come about for any number of reasons, but one of them is a particular cognitive pressure Walt is choosing to work under, the one where he avoids addressing his intuitions or where he finds himself not immediately aware of how to address them and chooses to bury them. Longer term success for Walt is going to depend on how well he ends up making a match between his inner world and the outer world, and for as long as he keeps burying those intuitions, he isn't making that match up. He is, instead, playing by rules and conditions set by other people. In particular, for much of season three he is playing by the rule that somehow there exists some kind of respect between himself and Gus. But what is his intuition telling him? What did it tell him when Jessie offhandedly brought up a vital point in Walt's future, the end of the three month contract? Does Walt really believe that he can become the ISTJ clone he has most of his life attempted to be? Does he truly think there can be a good future for him in Gus' organization if only he works well and keeps his word?
True success for Walt probably means destruction for everyone else. The interesting thing is Walt probably cannot step away from that fact even if he becomes truly aware of it. He's going to have to find the path through it all because he can't take all the destruction on himself and, for example, suicide, because he'll count that as a failure, and he can't just begin destroying things, because other people will bring their forces to bear and stop him from succeeding. He'll need to create something sufficiently immovable, and sufficiently open and plain to see, that others--Gus and Skylar--will exhaust themselves bringing their overwhelming force to bear upon it in attempts to change or alter or stop what Walt can do. Has he begun doing that? He isn't a match for Gus or even Skylar yet. And possibly wasn't ever going to be.
Woohoo, rootin' for the bad guy! Imagine all the innocent people he's going to take with him!
