re: #169 Obdicut

Yes, I immediately and wearily disagree.

This is like saying that if people being vulnerable to viruses wasn’t actually a benefit to us, it would have disappeared long ago.

Or like saying that suicide must obviously benefit our society, otherwise we would have died out long ago.

Evolutionarily, every organism has a lot of attributes that are actually ‘negative’ but persist.

I know you disagree with that premise- that was not my point.

What I was trying to say is that order from the chaos is what fuels ‘religion’- or culture or society. And that order has to apply to a broad a group as possible.
