"In this churning, chaotic tidal wave of evolutionary trauma that we were all born into, the only thing we really have any amount of real control over is whether we mindlessly repeat our conditioning patterns or start bringing consciousness to them. "
Our ancestors weren't unconscious zombies. In fact, some of the wisest people humanity has produced lived 3000 years ago, speaking truths that resonate to this day. Though certainly part of our struggle is with historical reality, a large part is our very nature, which is not just a result of "conditioning patterns." So the idea that *we* are the ones to suddenly bring consciousness to humanity and break out of the pattern ignores a lot of history in favor of a gross oversimplification.
But yes, you're correct that we should all try to be a hell of a lot nicer to each other. That's certainly true.
