system determines what propagates

both good and evil are present in our society and both tend to spread and propagate,

good through happy people treating others good and being loving and supportive

evil through people that are bitter or have received evil tend to treat others bad maybe at work or in family, there where they can

The system determines what propagates, both seeds lie and are found everywhere, maybe even in every person but depending on the structures the one or the other multiplies faster

For example Stalin or Hitler or Putin where in systems where their evil sides could grow and propagate

One cannot eliminate evil or good but we can change the structures and the system in such a way that love and goodness can spread and propagate more easily

like plants, they grow if the soil is in the right conditions and shrink if the soil is not in the right condition and plants produce seeds of what they are themselves, like a flower produces seeds of other flowers, whereas a stinking ugly plant produces seeds for other stinky ugly plants, now its important to create the conditions where love propagates and evil gets transformed into love

same concept on social media, there are people that want to upload nature stuff and spread motivating loving messages and give hope and spread optimism and there are people that want to upload videos of people dying and making fun of people with hope and being sarcastic and bitter and frustrated, the soil for what propagates is the algorithm

Bonus: Rats and Empathy

• Seed for good:

  Studies have shown rats will work to free a trapped fellow rat, even if there’s no reward — suggesting innate empathy.

• Seed for bad:

  The same rats, under stress or in overcrowded environments, may turn violent or isolate themselves.

• Environment decides:

  A nurturing, enriched environment with play, space, and social contact brings out prosocial behavior.

  A stressful, impoverished environment shuts it down.

This mirrors human behavior, too — we carry both seeds, and our “social soil” makes all the difference.
