Meta Values - 16

This is a weird value. Weird because of the very premise that I cannot share details but yet it is important is an innate paradox of it. 

There are some things in the world unintentionally got better because of 
  • second order effect 
  • or emergent effect
  • or may be, most humans put their focus on a lesser evil (say x) and because of that worse of all evils (say y) is not omnipresent
  • or a combination of above or other factors  
I will never reveal nor talk about any specifics those unintentional "good" in the world since humans has a immense capacity to fuck things up.  

No one is going to get Noble for this nor any groups of people will get recognized for this (plus none did it this on purpose). 

The only possibility is in the future someone will distill this "good" from history. Good news is by then we all would be dead and the "good" most likely would have been too foundational for humans to fuck it up. 

The only way to keep this "good" is by keeping quiet.

So I am going to call it the "shhh paradox". 

It is like you see these good things and want to scream in joy but you should not. 
The value is keeping it quiet and smiling internally. 

You might have a few "shhh paradoxes" which I might be blind too. 

Please don't tell me or anyone what those are. Shhh... keep it to yourself.
