@HeavenlyPossum @whatzaname @passenger i apologize for the word "easy". but i'm doubting the idea that good outcomes are the default, if only bad ways of being or thinking would be abjured. you don't get good from simply an absence of bad. you have to cooperate actively to create what is good. humans have to develop institutions that support and sustain those. they are inevitably imperfect, somebody games them, internal dynamics blind them to some harms. it's hard, never "right", still necessary
