Oh I'm quite sure you're right. Doesn't mean it shouldnt be opposed though.
The impression I get from history is that these things are cyclical in nature. We go through periods where reason, rationality and logic rule debates, and then it oscillates back to emotion and insult and abuse. We seem to be living in an age where we are racing to the bottom, as your tagline implies.
I can totally agree with that. Everything in the universe seems to go in cycles and on the social level humanity is rejecting reason in a wholesale fashion these days. World wide or nearly world wide. It's hard to reverse the tide but that ought to be opposed as well.
As for the rest, we're getting too far into the esoteric weeds for this thread. I wanted to make the point about the artifice of overlaying our concepts of fairness on things, because that rarely aligns with the actuality of karmic fairness, but I didn't want to drag the discussion entirely away from the OP's original intent.
