a lot of what passes for evil in the world imo is people doing what comes naturally after successfully having blocked out the fact that other people really exist

i made a video on this, kinda
if you can't notice other people or facets of them, for example, you can't make decisions in relation to them or those facets
perhaps collapsing awareness is a way to abdicate responsibility for the consequences of that?

uses the phrase "myopic selfish desperation" to talk about "evil" and i love it, so concisely descriptive; here i'm focusing on the myopia

i also suspect more and more that collapsed awareness correlates to left hemisphere dominance in the McGilchrist model (and expanded = RH)
this means that in collapsed awareness mode we see things in our collapsed awareness as objects to be manipulated
