isolate people and destroy public space and you can increase desperation and mental illness, thus allowing better conditions for harvesting peoples bodies through addictions which = profits
we know that what we do (basically without exception) is form ingroups which cohere around exclusion. there's always a scapegoat. it's naive and unscientific to think the individual can stand against this. his brain is going to do what it does despite what his (illusory) sense of self thinks.
dominance hierarchies are going to form not because of some folk psychological bullshit about our impure souls, but because all we are are machines programmed to pass on their genes. so behaviour that benefits this is going to occur. most of what humans do is just about status bragging which is another way of peacocking - look at me and my big brain.
the dim folks think they can sidestep all this by realizing it, as if their reason is not subject to the neurochemistry of the brain. no matter how depressed you are, if you find yourself a well liked member of a group one day you'll suddenly feel great.
you will probably feel at your best in a situation where you are climbing up into a higher social strata.
