    “healthy” people want to be lied to and be told everything will be ok so they can continue being selfish pricks. not because they are selfish pricks, but because our species is selfish pricks.

      Our species is not that selfish. The selfishness is what is induced to make people “healthy”.

      I am asking about healthy people. What do they want?

        The systems put into place benefit the selfish because the selfish are willing to do whatever it takes to appease their own self interest regardless of any sense of morality or shame.
