The biological truth units, the 1/0 of consciousness, are good/bad. What is good for the fox, is bad for the chicken.

A large part of the problem is that as these communal super organisms, this gets translated as good and evil. Some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil.

The second part of the problem is that we are linear, goal oriented creatures in a cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality, so more is not always better, a little pain can be a necessary corrective.

We understand that when we built electrical systems, we need circuit breakers in the feedback loops to keep the garbage from compounding on itself, but in society, we keep having to build the whole Tower of Babel up, until it comes crashing back down again.

Such as stressing over climate change, while waging war against anyone that won't bow down to our monetary dominance, even when it means wasting enormous, unreplaceable resources. from fuels to water to climate.

Stupid is, as stupid does.
