I very much agree that structurally what matters a lot, but that seems like half the battle to me.
But somehow this topic is not afforded much care or interest. Some people will pay lip service to caring, others will deny that mental states exist, but either way the field of alignment doesn’t put much force (money, smart young/new people, social support) toward these questions. This is understandable, as we have much less legible traction on this topic, but that’s… undignified, I guess is the expression.
