    You can be educated and hardworking and be a morally reprehensible human being that will absolutely burn in Hell (Henry Kissinger, for example). No, the people need some sort of shared moral ground, something axiomatic, so they police themselves and don’t cannibalize each other. Amorality (because moral relativists don’t believe in acts being ultimately, undeniably immoral) is the problem.

    There is definitely a serious societal problem. There is a parenting crisis leading to a peer-attachment crisis. And our communities reflect it. As another commenter mentioned, we need to relearn to have some empathy in our consciousness so we can provide healthy psychological attachments.

    As a white guy I know there is no hope for our shitty demographic. It’s an objective fact that if we all died on Nov 4th the world would be a better place.
