I find it curious how interconnected the "sins" of humanity are. Failing to do the "right thing" often seems to result in consequences that come back to bite us in unexpected ways: We know we shouldn't be burning fossil fuels because it's bad for the planet - but it turns out it's bad for ourselves too, because fossil fuels fund cruel and corrupt regimes like Russia and Saudi Arabia. We know we should provide social safety nets for people, as a general moral principle - but it also turns out that people on the edge of survival can't afford to follow government guidelines like "stay home and isolate" during a pandemic, so we all collectively suffer. Our aesthetic sense recoils at the destruction of the ecosystems of the natural world - but it turns out that we also rely on them in subtle ways that science is still unpacking, and their destruction leads to tangible negative consequences like the collapse of seemingly unrelated food sources (for example the near-extinction of whales has resulted in a huge nitrogen sequestration problem in the world's oceans, leading to a collapse in krill population, leading to a collapse in many species of fish). Our aesthetic sense also recoils at factory farming, and the clear moral issues with keeping large numbers of animals suffering in close proximity - but it turns out that this also leads to less nutritious food, food packed with antibiotics (leading to resistance, leading to superbugs), and even an increase in zoonotic viral transmission events (leading to global pandemics killing many people). It's as if our sense of ethics and aesthetics is in some sense pragmatically correct. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised - they evolved for a reason.
