J:  “That kind of continually positive experience could help self actualize graciousness and raise both the rationality and sense of ethics of the entire species.”

Sounds like an attempt to remake man into an image of something else which is bound to fail.

Me:  Not really. It’s simply a recognition of the fact that “as a man thinketh, so is he.” I’m not making man out to be an angel, he’s basically good but flawed, and aligning our systems with the natural concept of grace, especially a system that impacts us daily if not continuously, could only aid in the self actualization of graciousness.
