Or, you know.

Humans are a bunch of savage monkeys, and it’s up to them to make up rules that enforce what is best for everyone, and morals do that. And if you sacrifice morals to follow an illusion of success, then that’s a problem and I’m going to call you on it.

I don’t believe in the idea that “if most people want shit then let them have it”.

Kids want to eat kilos of candies, yet you don’t let them eat it and die. Well it’s the same with humans. If a majority is having shit values or morals, then you need to educate them, not let them be. The idea of letting things be is what led to things like the nazis, where no one wanted to oppose them until half of their country was invaded.

And understanding things without experiencing is called empathy, and it’s a trainable skill. Which also needs to be enforced upon people. It’s crazy to me that prehistoric humans were having more empathy than current humans, even though we now have thousands of years of philosophy behind us.

All in all, we need to stop being so complacent about others being shitty, and start enforcing rules and safeguard that force people to be held to a certain moral standard. That’s how we’ll evolve.
