"How do people show innate capacity for goodness, despite living in a crapsack world, and how do seemingly rational, pragmatic decisions tend to perpetuate such misery?"
This is the question that the Eldest have forgotten, and which nobody save you, dear reader, knows about.
There is a certain irony that, if their subjects manage to find long-term happiness and stability, the Eldest, not wishing to see the experiment end for search of an Answer, will find a way to upset that stability and perpetuate the experiment.
The Eldest do, indeed, walk the world, though they do not seek out attention. That said, if one knows who they are, and one speaks with them, some of them are not particularly secretive about much of what they know; to them, the Experiment goes on. Though asking about what came before the Experiment is likely to be met with a blank stare.
