Human Value Nonexistent?

[Mystic]

It becomes a problem when you don't feel good about the world around you until everyone shares in your delusion, to the point where you attempt to force it on others.

Heh, the paradox form of our evolution of morality. People needed to unite on myths/delusions. There is natural inclination, to want others to share your view and even believe others should share your view.

We naturally believe in things we believe we should. And we couldn't believe we should, if we thought others should not.

So here we are with everyone trying to convince everyone they are right.

It's paradoxical in that it's needed for harmony but at the same time is the root cause of disharmony.

How would evolution favor a myth? A myth that doesn't appeal to the emotions of people and makes them flourish, would not work. So we would naturally be inclined to accept certain type of myths.

For example, belief in a soul and afterlife. It makes you feel better about loved ones dying. A myth that says this is our only life may not work so well

Lo and behold, soul and after life is found all over the place
