One of my neighbors hurled glass off their balcony into the pool, shutting the pool down for everyone 🤗 Keep telling me people are defacto “good”

Doesn’t matter. Because there is 1, now all of us suffer, because we lack the will or ability to punish the one

Similar to when someone soils themselves in the pool.

Are we talking champagne flutes or Warby Parkers? I'm envisioning two very different scenarios here.

1/x neighbours still seems a pretty good ratio.

That’s INSIDE the overpriced fortress expressly created and designed to protect me from the conditions outside, which necessitate independent businesses to hire private police

Why 30?

Arbitrary. But it’s enough time to get a whole generation from birth - fully formed pre frontal cortex I believe millennials and zoomers are morally shot Alphas maybe too, their nihilism encouraging simply because suggests a bottoming out that will be fixed in the next one

I disagree about millennials (I am biased as an early 90s baby) but I do agree that GenZ has deflated and GA seems terrifying lol According to a 2023 Harvard study, millennials are the first generation to suggest we are getting more progressive as we age. 15 years ago I freaked out at my little brother when he said his generation was more conservative than us. I didn’t get it. Now I do. My friends babies are the first generation beta (lmao terrible) but I’m hoping this generation can be the one to save us ??

People can be good and stupid at the same time.

I think sometimes the weight of the world is stronger than an individual's will to be "good" and the significance of the "weight" is super relative, some are more resilient to the pressures than others, like athletes who are biologically gifted for their respective sport, maybe you're better built for "good"

It doesn’t help when the whole thing is structured to punish the well meaning. Even on here, like you see individuals fretting about tax bills on <$10 airdrops while actual criminals act with impunity

Yeah, I can’t lie it does get to me sometimes. There’s also an entire ecosystem of virtue signalling from dangerous people. But if I don’t believe that at their core people are good, I don’t know how I’d continue to be a participating member of society.

We can’t say everyone’s bad just because of one person,that one might actually be a good person too, just definitely a bit crazy 😂
