>>13550653There is also the case of emotional exhaustion. If you were to react emotionally to every different issue you would end up being highly unstable, and that is simply unhealthy when faced with actual danger.
In reality the reason people seem so passive and "virtue signal" is because it is there is an oversaturation of emotional incentives. And you're brain is always progressing towards homeostasis, thus the casualism is born. When theres too much to care about you no longer need to care.
This works doubly with our own innate ego bias, the self perception that everything you do is good and just for the most part. The act of caring and not doing anything about it is an attack on the ego. Which gets rationalized as being non sensical, it doesn't matter the outcome. It makes sense, why care about the outcome and risk potential emotional pain for something imaginary and not invested in at all.
Which in a sense is really quite ironic, we used to think it was the deprivation of emotions that would cause someone to be heartless, but in reality it is the overexpression of.
I also find it funny that people pander towards a moralistic goal collectively in order to gain/maintain social relevancy. They really don't care, nobody but the 1% does. But its like this game on who can act the most moral and win social points. Which is sickening to be honest. All you have to do for these blatant narcissists is set up a goal post everyone else is following and watch their shallow selves positive feedback loop that shit to existence.
Case in point the vaccines.
