    They’re brainwashed and have twisted views on most things, including what joy feels like.

    Some people are sociopaths and genuinely can’t feel joy. Put those people in positions of influence (like we have), and the meaning of joy takes on the twisted meaning ascribed by mob mentality.

    That’s what we need to fix. The reason we’ve been successful as a species for hundreds of thousands of years is because we’re a highly cooperative species who takes care of each other. We’re strong together.

    Sociopaths being in charge ruins that. They’re less than 5% of the population, by the way. We don’t need to let them do this to us.
