Yes, exactly. As I often quote Wendell Berry, "What are people for?" Civilization itself is a system of isolating humans from the environment that spawned us, creating artificial competitions between humans in pursuit of goals that benefit bullies, not providing leadership to benefit our places and people closest to them. The vast majority have some belief in an imaginary ultimate Aristocrat who should be the recipient of our efforts. How fucked up is that?

The net future usefulness of humans is a negative number, as far as Nature is concerned right now. There's plenty of obvious potential for the human species: but as my friend says, "There's plenty of work for people who see it."

Fighting to work for an Invisible Hand Job (fanatical competition) isn't helping anyone.

reference definitions:

Good: something that adds more to the future usefulness of its environment or offspring than it consumes in resources.

Evil: an action taken based on an unquestioned belief.

Human: a primate that creates a model of the universe inside its brain and upon physical maturity, moves a model of its self inside that model; avoiding reality at all costs.

note: "Good" and "Evil" are not opposites. Contrary to most opinion, one does not require the other.
