My Solutions

 I have never recovered from my astonishment, horror, and disgust how commonplace and ubiquitous evil is in and among people every day just going about their business. People are malevolent towards themselves and each other. To some small degree they know that they are doing wrong but choose to live in sin anyway because they like suffering more than enjoying life, and doing evil and tolerating evil all around one allows one to suffer to the maximum amount, and that is satisfying for most mixed-up people.

To some degree, nonindividuators/joiners/group-livers are so unenlightened, so steeped in a world of self and communal deception, and a social world of illusion and delusion, that they know they suffer, but are not more than semi-conscious of why they continue to live the maladaptive way that they do, or are even so asleep in the dream world that the Dark Couple have erected as a bubble of suffering around them, that they are largely unconscious to the fact as to how wrong and rotten their lives actually are.

I have never ceased to be amazed at the powerful, near universal, the consistent, rather global need for hundred of people that I have met over the decades, to seek power over others, and to lord their superiority over others, whenever they have the chance to.

As you know with me, I always start with my presupposition that people are born depraved. What this means is that they are selfless, group-oriented, mostly detest themselves and suffer an innate lack of a sense of self-worth or high self-esteem. 

When people do not like themselves, as they naturally do not, they are filled with hatred, anger, deceit (I am using Jordan Peterson's adjectives here.) resentment and bitterness. All that unhappiness, that despairing, that wretchedness needs to be exported to others (when one's nature is social and group-affiliation, exporting and dumping one's frustration upon neighbors is based upon propinquity.).

This frustration is exported to others in at least two primary ways. 

First, humans are addicted to unwholesome power, the power of powerlessness, the bottomless craving to rule others, to dominate them, to soul-rape them, to bend them to our will. When you add prejudices of a "superior" (a mere social convention or opinion) class, ideology or ethnic group or club membership of the haves/oppressors/victimizers over those belonging to "inferior" (again these labels are not objectively real) classes, unpopular or minority isms, outlier ethnic groups, or less prestigious clubs, then the powerful go after and attack, exploit, ridicule, persecute and exploit those less powerful, less well-connected. 

People rarely, though selfless to the core, do the kind and unselfish thing, and give someone less popular or less powerful a break, and do away with these bad, destructive social games of power and dominance. People love their negative power, want always more and more of it, and are unable or unwilling to set it aside, and make their inferiors, their new equals. 

Of course, those, in societal hierarchies, more powerful or more popular are sadistic towards those below them, and also are masochistic towards abusers above them beating them at their own game.

Second, one cannot feel superior over others unless one is superior in rank over others in some socially accepted framework or hierarchy, be it extended family, nuclear family, tribe, clan, neighborhood association, social clubs, workplace hierarchies, public, private, military, or ecclesiastical, etc. 

This need to feel a little good about oneself based upon whatever paltry or significant rank one can gain above others--that is a primary human motivation, and class structures cause needless suffering as well as malevolent abuse of those down below, or inferior in rank, as the perpetrators are then abused, and accepted that it is their lot to be abused by their superiors from above. Being joiners, nonindividuators and group-living are all existential stances that accompany the construction and maintenance of the majority of people populating established hierarchies.

Jordan Peterson is correct that we naturally live in hierarchies, but such existence sickens and corrupts us. Cruelty and malevolence wax strong in such settings.

Here are my solutions: if we can teach young people to love themselves, to discipline themselves, to seek to find pleasure and happiness--gained by growing in love, intelligence, godliness and talent expression, then they will learn to be living angels, to grow into great-soulness, to forsake craving superiority and rank over others, to seek to rob others of their power and liberty that are their natural rights, their natural gifts bestowed upon them by their Creators to be all that they can be.

As maverized individuators, living angels and supercitizens, young people can esteem themselves, esteem their neighbors and esteem God and the Good Spirits, and find fulfilled the two urges that biologically well up in them, and which have led to the downfall of many, countless generation of humans.

As they self-realize, and enjoy their personal, considerable application of their own, private, expanding power as they define themselves, developing their amassed power, wealth, skill and new thoughts without requiring to enslave a neighbor to rob her of her power to do her own thing on a grand scale.

As a generation of individuating, anarchist supercitizens and living angels constitute America as one huge classless class of mostly upper-middle class citizens, all of whom are strong, independent, smart, confident, superior persons of impressive accomplishments, they will be the best mix: their desire to be elite and to rule is met by their competition with themselves diachonically over time and their ratcheting up their competence, talent and excellence give them their feeling of elite status, without hierarchical domination of enslaved underlings.

And all will be roughly equal in status, liberty, public esteem, popularity, and magnificent, personal achievement, that equality is thus socially and legally reinforced as hierarchies are unnaturally flattened and limited to the greatest practical extent.

No longer, will the natural human craving of groupist, nonindividuating, selfless, self-loathing, insecure nobodies need to waste everyone's lives, inflicting great senseless pain, by anyone having power over anyone else, or craving or working to gain rank and superiority over others, and none seek it or reward or put up with such foolish ranking attempts.
