I agree with you that normal logic dictates what you suggest. But our normal logic — as everything we do — is based on our limited, inherently egocentric, and subjective worldview and the way how we look at each other and the world.

We assume that humans are in control, we make decisions and there are good people and evil people, and that we need to follow certain moral codes, ethics in order to live a good life.

We have completely forgotten, we ignore that we live in a completely closed, lawful, and deterministic Natural system that controls every aspect of our lives. Until now we have behaved like children in toy-store thinking we can take whatever we want without payment.

But Nature started to demand payback and all of our systems, our whole, proud, modern civilization is now collapsing as a result of a relatively mild virus, while there are much more difficult, much more devastating natural and social catastrophes waiting around the corner.

We do not need to make calculations with the 1%, they are like thieves on the deck of the sinking Titanic, collecting the silverware that will sink together with them.

We all need to change our own inherent nature and learn how Nature demands us to interconnect, cooperate in its integral system governed by strict, unchanging, unforgiving laws. The rest will be sorted by Natural forces we can’t even comprehend, let alone control right now.

Humanity’s future depends on a small, critical minority of sensitive, willing people who will be the first to properly change themselves, adapting themselves to Nature’s system. Then they will become like rescue ships for the Titanic of our civilization, pulling with them the rest of the people, “cooked”, softened by increasing, finally intolerable suffering.
