Society is precisely the problem. The human animal did not evolve to live in groups larger than the dunbar number. Think about this: When we were living on ice floes we were in tribes of less than a hundred people, in villages of a couple dozen, in communities that never expanded past MAYBE a thousand.
The human brain as a result can only model about 200 people as being human. Now on its face, that is not so strange. "I don't personally know 200 people," you might think. But then you remember that we live in the media age. And you have a "model" of Keanu Reeves, of Steven Segall, or Donald Trump. People you've never met, but whom you see daily.
And then you realize that before the age of five, you will have probably already filled out your Dunbar Number with people who you will never meet. When you walk down the street of your home city and feel like a stranger, when you find yourself having difficulty making friends even with people who you work with, live close to, see daily, THIS is why. It is because our civilization and the technology it possesses has surpassed our primitive brains' ability to process.
In ancient times, people so oversocialized that they were incapable of seeing people as people were called "Sociopaths." We don't live in ancient times. We live in modern times. We're all sociopaths now. Mothers kill their own children for convenience. I want to shoot left-wing people in the face. That communist wants to put you in a gulag and torture you to death.
This is what the story of the Garden of Eden truly represents. In his primal state mankind was capable of empathy on a level that we today cannot even comprehend, because we have had it raped out of us by our own understanding of technology, our own civilizational model, our own society. We came to know good and evil, and this is the result.
And it is going to get worse. Oh, it is going to get so, so much worse.
