The goal then of DNA is to create conciousness... conciousness lets the person break the habits built in by evolution so society can form.

If DNA strictly had its way to multiply itself as much as possible, without giving the organism conciousness to be able to program itself to override the instincts given to it, then the organism would just replicate past its means and kill itself... a perfect analogy is bacteria in a petri dish, that grows until it runs out of nutrients and kills itself.

Our goal as humans are to be concious enough so that we do not act like bacteria and kill ourselves off because we destroy our environment and cause global warming to push the climate to reach a tipping point into a divergent run into something like the climate of Venus.

The debate has been intensifying because Earth is warming much faster than some researchers had predicted.

Perhaps our goal is to organize as much conciousness as possible?

Maybe we can build concious machines to do this, or perhaps come up with better ways of converging the conciousness of individuals into a whole.

Is that what good and evil is? Good is organizing more conciousness while evil is disorganizing conciousness?

For example, eating a cow is not evil, because even though it has some organized conciousness, when humans eat it, it maintains our more organized concious, but that, eating plants is less evil because it destroys less organized conciousness?

For example, eating a dog is evil in America because there is a more organized conciousness between the owner and the dog through interaction, while eating a dog in china is not evil because it is treated like a cow.

For example, adultery is evil because it could break up the conciousness of the family.
