    Unfortunately, I think this is mostly a personal observation, but one about which I can’t find anyone who disagree.

    Even conservatives will agree, but all the while thinking it’s good to put themselves in scarcity situation, thinking it will force them to pull themselves by the bootstraps and make them grow/get better.

    Edit: off course it’s a multi factor thingy though… Lead pollution has been shown to affect mental states, and everyone starts with a different innate susceptibility to empathy.

      I agree it’s likely multi-factor. Your observation seems to fit as well. There’s likely no silver bullet answer, but understanding the likely contributors may help future generations mitigate this problem.
