Bad behavior meeting instant justice is like gawking at a train wreck—you know it’s terrible, but you can’t help looking at it. Of course, part of the reason it’s compelling to look at is that there is no direct sharing in the pain of the experience. In the military, the practice of punishing an entire platoon for the aberrant behavior of a single recruit or draftee has been discovered to work well in reducing such behavior across the entire group. Forcing them to share the pain would not be “fun” at all. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma279 views0 answers0 votes“No pain, no gain,” is a common expression whose truth seems apparent. In the rest of the universe, it appears that an emphasis on the avoidance of pain means there is little genuine risk-taking as compared to the recklessness we see amongst humans here on Earth. Sometimes a greater good emerges from a painful and risky undertaking. Is this recognition part of the incentive for creating the Free Will Project?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma300 views0 answers0 votesSo it appears that in the rest of the universe, beings are not truly self-managing. We see that here on Earth in the animal kingdom. It seems an instant karma system would be akin to everyone wearing a “shock collar,” to suggest a crude metaphor. Yet, every Free Will Experiment to date has failed when that shock collar is removed. So it seems the goal is to mold, train, cajole, and motivate intelligent beings to become self-managing in a successful way that works in a crowd, and not in isolation.
