Every single employee that was tasked to change Lake Ontario to Lake America could just say no, and quit.

Or are we just following orders?

That’s the issue. It’s someone else’s fault, always. It requires a substantial amount of grey matter to accept personal responsibility, e.g. “I fucked up”. It was me, who made a mistake. When we make a mistake we downgrade to our lowest, most childish behavior, to deceive, lie and cheat, just so we are not in trouble.

Some people never ever ever ask the question to themselves “Did my actions cause harm to another?”. Their self-importance is too great for that. The maximum I can ever hope for, with the current state of humanity is, they’ll think about it, but throw in a nice excuse. Usually “But I was stressed/busy/angry when I did it”. And that makes it okay.

So, sadly, it requires a lot of grey matter to not use it. Mainly because of humankind’s inability to accept personal responsibility, not because a clanker contains some unobtainable information.
