>The end result probably looks like us burning most of the modern world to the ground, literally, but that's where game theory is taking us. Has it ever occurred to you that if people are willing to burn it to the ground, the "modern world" might not be quite as good for them as it is for you? What we are seeing today are people who have long felt grievances talking to each other and discovering that they're not alone, and that the civil institutions which are supposed to address those grievances systematically do not do so. And when people are given no other options to correct injustice, conflict is all that's left to them. If you want to stop the world from burning, don't blame the people for fighting, blame the system for making it necessary.

> Has it ever occurred to you that if people are willing to burn it to the ground, the "modern world" might not be quite as good for them as it is for you? Has it ever occurred to you that some people identify themselves not as individuals but as cells in a group organism (race, gender, etc...) and that these people seem to live by the old saying "it's better to rule in hell than serve in heaven"? It's not about justice. It's about your group being on top. The world that grievance mongers are building does not strive for fairness. It strives for an inversion of the cartoon hierarchy they've dreamed up. Where every imagined historical evil is played out against the descendants of the people who they think are responsible. The whole thing is fueled by a vicious mixture of hate and envy, providing an endless supply of righteous anger induced endorphin rushes. It's addictive and cruel.
