@IMS @wagesj45 @Novela answer the question.

with more utility learned – that is, with more actionable knowledge in effect – our capability for ending the sources of horror is increased.

by learning of joy every day we protect ourselves from the horror, narrowing its scope.

a corralled prey can be hunted and killed more effectively. if we make the causes of horror in this world our prey, our species will regain an ecological function. currently we do not have one.

I think that would be a very good direction for us to take.

a behaviour correction:

fact 1: more horror is done per day than an individual is capable of learning about per day.

fact 2: all horror produced per day will be learned about across some of us.

disorder: I for one have been atrocious at taking too much of it. more than my share.

order 1: what I need to do is spend more of my learning budget per day on utility and joy than on horror. to watch or read more book than news.

order 2: what I need to do is TRUST others to do the same or similar.
