Imagine trying to fix a complex wiring issue by throwing a ball at the wires. Is there some chance that the ball might dislodge where the wires are worn and shorting out? Of course, there's a chance. Is that the way you want to solve real problems? This is the status of human civilizations: a subconscious attempt to self-destruct. It also seems to be derived from a lack of "process" knowledge. If your actions are directed by whimsical guesswork instead of a substantive grasp of reality, the awareness and the actions will be self-destructive because of their randomness. Look for signs when you talk to people, do they contradict their own belief? Do they change their belief on a whim? Do they change the subject to something completely irrelevant mid-sentence? Are they overly emotional and reactive to the idea of "discussions?" Are they destroying their own life and by extension everyone else's life and pretending they are doing it to be "nice?" If any of these things are true about your interaction with someone, they need a personal philosophy.
