Humans seem to constantly
seek an ultimate set of never-changing rules against which all
decisions can and should be made. Such a list will never exist,
however, because we can't know the future and therefore can't come up
with rules for every possible situation, letting alone the problem of
getting agreement on the validity of such a list. Yet, we still chase
this fantasy as if it's real, even reaching back into the distant
past to mangle ancient texts in hopes of finding this artificial
treasure we've imagined to exist. This flaw is perhaps the most
damaging one that humans posses because it stops us from doing the
work of taking responsibility for ourselves within a world and a
universe that never stops changing.
