The comment I just made covers that: reality is ruthless, but we cannot stand to be.  Therefore we do things which weaken us collectively.  For example, in terms of genetic fitness of the species, vaccines are definitely a downer; but in terms of keeping individuals alive and well, they are a big plus.

That being said, more and more resources go into supporting institutions which cannot stand on their own.  At some point, the inefficiency is so great that the system will have a catastrophic failure.  Then you don't have a choice whether or not to be humane. Winter is coming.
