There's only 1 reason to interfere/intervene in the milieu around you, that is to participate. And we participate according to our bodies predilections. Each body is different. But most of us have gut reactions to some categories of things. (This is why I love horror movies... tropes like maggot infested zombie heads are culturally important because they are physiologically important.) We don't tend to stand by and let dogs eat each other because, well, it grosses us out. Similarly with thieves and other crimes.
Corruption is abstract. We say we're against "corruption". But when we're deep inside it, very close to when/where it's happening, it's different. Many of us don't see whatever is happening as "corruption". And the more tightly coupled you are to it, the less likely you are to see it that way. Those of us less coupled to it, with bodies primed by different stimuli, are exposed to the complex and "misunderstand" it as "corruption". Once we experience it, we're grossed out and work to stop or avoid it. On 06/30/2015 09:11 AM, Marcus Daniels wrote:
So long as we see these organizations in evolutionary terms, then there is no problem. But then why object when thieves act like thieves? (Because there's some species of individual that objects to that? It's tautological, or merely the observation there is no free will.) Corruption is just part of our human activity. Let's just let one dog eat the other and get on with it.. Okay. Diversity or no diversity, who cares?
