Middle school is, was, and will be full of dicks. How 1/2 of all middle schoolers turn into decent people, I don’t know.
Lmfao you think 1/2 of everyone is decent? How optimistic of you
Half feels right. The moral median is forever moving up. I can trust most people in a room to avoid murdering, robbing, raping, or engaging in political conversation with me, so that’s my rationale.
Do not conflate fear of punishment with morality. Most people suck, but are at least capable of a very basic level of cost-benefit analysis.
That's a big ask of people nowadays, are you sure you didn't set the bar too high. /S
“People”
“... what a bunch of bastards!”
Pareto principle works here too. It's like 20% are decent, 60% sit on the fence depending on context, and 20% are always awful.
These ratios are more strictly 20/80 the older the sample sets, ie roughly 80% of people over 65 are toxic, in most cases, even when their behavior hurts themselves.
I'm inclined to agree with you
1/2 of them have no dicks.
Nah, less than half since sone of them are penetrating, and that proportion on average is less than the number of people that age getting bottom surgery
The parts of the brain responsible for social behavior don't fully develop until adulthood, and the brain gets rewired substantially during puberty, around middle school age. So, a middle schooler is seriously handicapped when it comes to social behavior.
that's the trick actually, they don't.
