    Specifically, people are interested in having more power over outcomes eg avoiding hunger, discomfort, loneliness etc.

    And in many cases we need to acknowledge that this is a good thing. Everyone should be empowered to have more control and more autonomy. The problem is not everyone is afforded that luxury.

      @whoisearth yes I meant it as a good thing. Control and power to effect changes we want in the world are good things.

      I’ve had to go back and edit my comment because some people seem to have taken it in a very different spirit to how it was intended.
