What about the vertical axis of think^group(sin(conscience^lacking)) in regards to one exemplar sin of sloth: littering?

Menninger was fond of the word “acedia”, which literally translates into “not caring”.  Menninger considers “acedia” a “refusal to grow”.  That sure sounds like conscience^lacking.

Menninger, as in previous sets of sins, only mentioned the alternative to think^group when it comes to “sins of sloth”.  That alternative is “caring”.
