Something wrong
This is so coming out of my ass, and I'm too lazy to get proof atm (rough draft kinda thing?)
Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night and had this thought: WTF is wrong with society?
I think I know (a little at least)
Basically, its people.
In some cultures rasing kids it the job of everyone. This behaviour is seen is old world and new world apes, if my memory is serving me correctly.
Now, kids are taught not to talk to anyone they don’t know. Not to answer the phone or the door. Not to take things from strangers (Odd how we have the mail man that comes 6 days and the FedEx/DHL guys (and ladies too) who come every once in a while).
But then we send them to school with strangers. Most of the kids in the class. The teachers. The janitors, The principal. The average parent will not know who these people are on a personal basis. I know this is different for kids of teachers and such but we all know how they turn out
The kids are taught from a young age to mistrust everyone. How is society going to function, as a whole, when everyone mistrusts everyone else?
In the case of the apes, and other cultures, there are not that many members in the group. Those that break the norms are exiled (sometimes).
I guess that’s the end of my creative flow for the moment …
