       I was raised to believe the world is a good place, and the people in it are mostly good with a few exceptions. Most of my adult life has been showing me the world is an awful place run by horrible people.In truth, in honest and seeking retrospect, I find the world is neither. It is simply intrinsically as indifferent as balls on a billiards table. Which pocket we land in rests on physics, the skill of the players controlling us and the table we land on.

       @nickfarr we are dependent of what nature gives us but we are also responsible for how much we fuck up nature. So your own actions might seem very small they can influence a lot of people around you and by this will cause a much bigger effect. So be nice to each other and do not try to exploit for your own profit.

       @nickfarr, "people are mostly good" and "the world is run by awful people" is not a contradiction. Business competition systematically gives horrible people a systematic competitive advantage to build and lead large hierarchies that are awful to most people in them. Horrible presidents like Jack Welch, GW Bush and DJ Trump are not really the problem. The competitive selection process that favors the likes of them is.
