- madaxe_again 2y agoI would say that it has not provided as much utility value to mankind as it could have. Sure, I’ve created jobs, generated wealth, given to philanthropic causes - and in excess of the lives lived by most - but I would say with confidence that had I perhaps had some guidance other than the eternal threat of punishment, I would have developed something other than a frankly criminal instinct, and might have been more able to give more to society and fulfil my potential. Instead, I learned to avoid the consequences, not to avoid the crime, and can’t deny that I have chosen a selfish path as a result.
