I would add that selfishness must be coupled with ignorance.
You cant imagine how easily educated, accomplished people can 'persuade' themselves to falsities when the truth is damaging enough to their selfish inclinations.
You will see Elon Musk, the man who is trying to go to Mars, denying publicly on twitter that the pandemic is not serious and lockdowns and drastic measures are against 'freedom'.
This is a guy from an engineering background, moreover, a 'learn it yourself' to boot. Self-persuasion is much easier for those who are from backgrounds which make it easy to ignore reality if it is inconvenient.
Quote:Also, I would say that Henry the 8th got the ball rolling to sever the head of religious power more than 200 years prior to the French Revolution.
What Henry did didnt work out so well did it. But the French kicked the religion in the balls. Hard. And then it worked some.
The thing with religion is that it functions as a tool to make it easy for one to justify his/her biases.

If they cannot rise above social and environmental biases, then they don't deserve to be harvested. It has nothing to do with immature souls and more to do with why graduating is so difficult in 3rd density. Sure, the harvest may be few but they always get another shot and another. As many needed to finally rise above their own selfishness. Selfishness has nothing to do with some elite ruling class and everything to do with themselves. You've basically taken personal responsibility out of the equation and blamed it on a conspiracy theory
The elite cant do what they are doing without enough selfishness in the population to allow them to do it, however. Its not like ~30,000-40,000 people who consist the elite in a major country like US to set up and run an entire negative society by themselves. Its because they are aided by others for their selfish aims. White collar people staff the administration, corporations, police to judiciary and keep the thing rolling. Independent small shop owner votes to keep the system going to maximize the profits of his/her shop. His brother/sister teaches children how great things are in the school to get a paycheck without going against the currents.
People enable such elites.

I like to observe nature, from the first glance it is beautiful, but when you look into the details it becomes so brutal and heartless.
My believe is that there are sectors of this galaxy that are peaceful and humanity just got the short end of the stick.
From the time of hunters and gatherers to the first civilizations and up until now, nothing in human nature and essence has changed.
The STS beings that made it all worse just participated in the madness this sphere already was in.
This is an incorrect way to look at it: Those who cooperate in nature, prosper. Look at symbiont species. They prosper much more than 'stronger' species even if the cooperating species are weaker themselves.
What's more, this species of weak primates (mankind) rise to civilization mainly because of its traits of cooperation and taking care of its weak. The biggest statement for cooperation is existence of human civilization.
