    Teenagers getting introduced to heroin and developing an addiction isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. How can they grow up and see the bigger picture if their mind is dominated by drugs? How can they organise when they are too busy spending every waking moment acquiring more drugs?

      Eh, I’d be surprised if any grand plan is at work. Humans just aren’t that able to cooperate with each other, to make something like that function smoothly.

      It’s much more likely an emergent phenomenon from a wide array of different factors, starting with our basic human nature.

      Never wise to suspect malice when simple stupidity or laziness could be the reason. They’re vastly more common.
