We definitely don’t apply that, but my point was not if they are applied or not, its that a certain freedom in options can come with a cost that isn’t borne by the individual, and we need to look beyond the individual to properly balance those. Empowering individuals can be great for certain situations, but bad for others. Healing what’s direct in front of you is the best option if long-term consequences are murky: at least you create a short-term gain.
I don’t think evolutionairy processes are good, merely that they are a natural extension of certain optimizations. By looking back at such things, we can see why they came about. I feel the same about culture: those are a lot of guidelines how to do things without explaining why we need to do it that way. Discovering the why helps us identify which things we need to keep and which are evolutionary bagage.
I have enough experience with personality types and group dynamics to have experienced the disasters that come about by having just leades and no followers or planners and no executors in a group or organization. It will fail.
I ’m also not convinced we need psychopaths. Personally, I’d rather not have them. But, I simply have to admit I don’t know enough about why they are there. Removing them might be like removing maggots from a festering wound: you’d rather not have them, but if you don’t know the science behind what they are doing, you might remove them merely based on the feeling that you don’t like them,
Thanks for your throughts!
