I think that, whether or not it’s easier to succeed against human or non-human problems, that for many people it’s more fun to think about people who deserve to be punished than to think about the specific details needed to solve a problem that’s the result of an uncaring universe.
That then boils down to wanting an interesting story doesn’t it?
Getting rid of bad people, even very bad people, is easy compared to all the different things one has to do to make sure bad things don’t happen in a universe that dosen’t care about us and where really bad things are allowed to happen.
This is the bit I was arguing with.
I was interpreting it as meaning “some bad things” and it’s possible that you meant “all bad things”.
Oh I do think that overall you are probably right that bad people problems can in real life be as challenging or more challenging than non-human ones.
I should have said that getting “rid of bad people” seems easy. In the context I was talking about an appealing world-view I didn’t mean to say I share it. I was trying to describe what it feels like from the inside.
