Thinking higher level: Human incentives are a dangerous thing, and it requires brave people to stand up to them and their socioeconomic complexes, even if those complexes will fail dramatically or kill people: see the NASA Groupthink Challenger Disaster. Or how does the Red Cross raise half a billion dollars for Haiti, and the money disappeared, having only built 6 homes[1]. Or when LA officials stole tiny homes from the homeless that people gave them. Wouldn't someone stand up and say 'wait a second, this isn't right, this isn't acceptable in the modern world' the way we think it should work? Whenever everyone talks about Nazi Germany, or Nanking, or religiois persecution in Europe, or British subjugation of the Americans, etc... and we said Never Again. And so we learn some lessons and make improvements, but then the circumstances and types of tyrannies change a little bit, but we still keep falling into these traps of being rotten humans. But what I wonder about is if it's actually turned around and started getting worse? We certainly signal a lot that we are good today... but we have always focused a lot on signalling that we are good, it's just the trends and fashions of what makes someone good changes... Where are we actually going? 1 - https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-red-cross-raised-half-a-billion-dollars-for-haiti-and-built-6-homes https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-red-cross-raised-...
