I think it’s fascinating that many people are socialized into self-destructive behaviors:

- empowerment requires not having a family!

- climate needs you not to have children!

- anti-bigotry means supporting bigotry against your own kids!

Incredibly destructive to society… and why our demographics are collapsing. The mechanism in which their ideals are twisted into harming themselves (or their families) speaks to the modern incarnation of evil.

Doing things to help other people isn't the collapse of society and the modern incarnation of evil.

I didn’t describe “doing things to help other people” in general, but particular pathologies disguised as those.

There are many pathologies that pose as “doing good things” — and I think it’s interesting that you didn’t respond to my particular examples, but a strawman.
