22. From an evolutionary perspective

the base biases most likely helped to establish survival of the species (in a literal sense), as a whole, in the presence of specific threats.

However on a higher level, from the sociological aspect of societies, additional layers were added that were purported and promoted to "enhance" the base biases, but often exasperated problems because these did not always apply equally across the entire society.

The difficulty then becomes trying to tackle an almost infinite number of combinations and permutations, to find the set that might apply favorably to the most number of people. And that is where all the fuss happens because inevitably, what might benefit 90% might be at the detriment of the other 10% (see the minority populations in countries world-wide).

And my issue has been this - there are those who refuse to recognize this state of affairs and insist on "100% or nothing", whereas I strive to keep looking for that elusive combination that can benefit as many as possible but recognize that everyone is not going to be helped or pleased.... and -the key- try your darnedest to make accommodations for them.

My mother always told me that "life isn't always fair" and she damn sure is right.
