It will be very interesting to see how we adapt. (if they even know where their father is). Not thugs who break into people's houses in the middle of the night and don't catch an absolute beating by their father that same evening. Our society, fundamentally, is for trustworthy, honorable people who have had 1000 years of living next to each other (common law societies like ours have legal traditions that are 1000+ years old). So now, our society isn't ready for what it is not evolved to deal with. We used to have draconian punishment for antisocial beahavior, but as we became more and more trustworthy as a society, we stripped them away. you would immediately enter a gunfight to the death.Īnd the reason is that we have had the privilege of living in a historically high trust society. What you will notice is that the societies that these behaviors are being conducted in are universally high trust.
I think it's more just 'low trust behaviors applied to high trust societies'.
