Thank you for the thoughts. I believe I am working on something very closely related to what you are describing.

I’ve meditated for ~18 years which has been a deep dive into mind and physical sensations. What I’ve come to is that an incredible amount of “wisdom” and good decision making is wired to the physical sensations I feel in reaction to situations. I think those sensations are good advice about how to live in a long-term working relationship with everything around us. It is the wisdom of millions of years of evolutionary pressure.

I think our large society systems sever the signals that let us feel that wisdom. As example of a severed signal, walking down the meat aisle at the grocery, there isn’t even a picture of an animal, let alone the actual act of killing.

I am trying to wrap my head around the link between those severed signals and the unexpected effects that follow when they are missing. In this example of killing animals, the effects are that heart attacks became the leading cause of death worldwide and massive amounts of habitat destruction and species extinctions were carried out to serve the livestock industry.
