I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this bit, we may just be seeing different levels of scale.
I’ll point out that I may be the unusual one here, as I FIRMLY believe that the moment we’re thinking outside our monkeyspheres we’ve got to be amazingly careful the moment we even talk about interfering with the lives of others, this is an atypical view and I know I go against the grain, but I do believe very strongly that trying to live such large lives and even CARING about all these people is one of the roots of many of society’s ills.
Mr. Wong says it better, I’d argue that we also have a sort of ‘proxysphere’ which can be used positively if we’re well trained. I have however met almost zero adults (self included) who I think haven’t been largely broken already. Six year olds get it though, they haven’t been ruined yet.
