The two fundamental problems of this world are indifference to suffering and the misperception of indifference to suffering......
How much of this hell is a result of the former as opposed to the latter?
The two fundamental problems:
1. Indifference
2. Hate (The perception of a level of indifference (correct or not) that is deemed unacceptable and as a kind of evil.)
It may be nice to think about the second far more. It's complex while the first reduces life to 2D and what can be done about it anyway? With the second we can quit miscommunicating, we can quit believing in evil, etc. Still though, indifference is a far, far greater problem than hate. It's not even close.
What ways would reduce indifference?
Environmentally: systematically teaching people to take their mind outside of themselves. Trying to imagine being an animal, another person, a tree, disembodied. Try to imagine infinity/eternity. Force them to not just think happy thoughts. Push them towards the contemplation of suffering...
Of course it has occurred to me the cure could potentially be worse than the sickness.
