I think the philosophers miss much by over analyzing the little bit they obsess over.

For instance, to culture, good and bad are that cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, while in nature, it is the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. The 1/0 of sentience.

What is good for the fox, is bad for the chicken.

Too much of a good thing can cause hangovers and the mind mostly evolved as a function of dealing with the difficulties, not basking in the warm fuzzies.

While it is the function of culture to coalesce and synchronize the community into a social super organism, based on the same languages, rules measures, nature is the larger ecosystem, where all these entities rise and fall in an overall harmony.

The problem is that centrifugal effect applies to all aspects of socialization, such as academia, where if one is not fully schooled into the core concepts and ideas, one is simply not part of the conservation.

Noise, not signal.

Though occasionally the paradigms do break open and not just shift.
