One plausible
manifestation of Hypocrisy in social contexts occurs when individuals or System
Owners publicly claim adherence to ethical principles and moral righteousness,
yet knowingly tolerate or overlook unethical behaviors in environmental
contexts. Thus, ethical movements often arise and face condemnation; such
conduct threatens economic interests or puts influential decision-makers in a
vulnerable position. In such cases, the Survival and Fear Instincts, with an
antagonistic Ego structure within the Subconscious Component, interact with
logical processing in the Conscious Component, leading to decisions that
prioritize self-preservation and financial security over moral justice along
the evolutionary path of life.
The Hypocrisy
Instinct functions as a defensive mechanism within the Subconscious Component,
enabling individuals and System Owners to navigate uncertain or risky
environments by avoiding consequences that may arise from ethical
confrontation, even when their actions conflict with broader humanitarian
values. However, a strong Belief System, an optimized Network of Cooperative
Instincts, a moderate or restrained Ego structure, and a vigorous Superego
Framework within the Subconscious Component can counterbalance the influence of
the Hypocrisy Instinct. When these forces are active, they can redirect
decision-making processes toward ethical responsibility and moral integrity.
Observation 1:
The
observational study indicates that intense global competition can trigger the activation force beyond the Instincts
of Hypocrisy, Survival, and Fear. These instincts are supported by an
antagonistic Ego structure in the Subconscious Component that protects
individuals from threatening environmental conditions. As a result,
decision-making tends to prioritize self-preservation over moral justice and
ethical considerations. Consequently, humans often struggle to cope with the
uncertainty and unpredictability of everyday life.
