I never said I have solutions. I mean sure I have wishes. I wish for a world where everyone is considerate of others, mindful about everything they do and decisions they make. Where everyone thinks and questions and then does what they truly believe is the right thing to do, instead of simply going with what is the norm or most beneficial to oneself. Sure not everyone comes up with the same beliefs about what is wrong and right but I believe what we are seeing is actually people not thinking at all or people choosing other incentives, such as convenience or personal gain, over their convictions. They often times can even be observed actively fooling themselves to retrospectively improve the morality of their decisions and habits
But you see I do know what I do not approve of
I do not like laws. Just like states, nations, territories and so on desu. As stated I prefer a world where everyone acts good out of conviction and not out of fear of repercussion. I also believe laws often have a negative effect too. They trigger a race to the bottom. Once there is a law many seek to maximize their own utility by touching on the subject of the law as much as they can without burning themselves. They get to delude themselves that this - actual bare minimum - behaviour was just, after all a group of smart people drew the line there, right? People will insinuate that somehow being decent beyond the bare minimum the law demands was somehow disadvantageous because there is someone else that will not. To stay on topic: Why do you think the motorist chooses to go 50, or 55, or 60 when the signs indicate 50? Even when the conditions do not allow for it and the code technically says it means 50 in perfect conditions. If anything is imperfect, be it something about you or your vehicle, traffic, illumination, weather etc. then it means less than 50.
