In an ideological vacuum, being hopeless and a complete believer in moral relativism, what else could you have? Nothing is true, nothing is good or bad, so just get the bag and “get ahead in life”, and the only losers are those who can’t get away with it. But ask any of them what they believe in and they crumble. Meh. 😔 And you already know what I think the answer to this problem is if you checked my username, but you can’t coerce people into it, it just doesn’t work that way.
PS. They’re basically infants (Kohlberg’s stages of moral development):
Idk why but my wife told me something like “I just don’t want people knowing I poop!” the other day as a reaction to me pooping at her friend’s house (which is apparently a big social faux pas depending on who the toilet belongs to) and I still don’t understand it. People breathe, people poop. 🤷
