the way i see it, knowledge can be a burden and everyone reacts to that burden differently. that's not to say dangers aren't dangerous or power doesn't corrupt, but i very much believe that the vast majority of us believe we're doing the right thing for the current circumstances for times, both good and bad, and experiences we have each gone through. as we currently are, we're kind of stuck in that first person perspective most of the time anyway so that extra knowledge will inevitably clash with someone else's lived experience. in a way, it's both hilarious and tragic, happy and sad, and chaotic and orderly all at the same time.
