Should I try to understand e.g. a serial murderer or (insert the worst kind of person here) from their own point of view?
You can only take Empathy so far. After a point you are approaching insanity.

No I still think ~50% of people are straight rotten, ~10% of people are good people, and the other 40% can't get their heads out of their asses to see that their ignorance is part of the problem.

Hmm…

I'm not so sure about the learning part. Maybe. Also, I think e.g. Japan seems to be in some aspects better than the western world (and in some aspects worse). I kinda see more capability of learning there. E.g. the way they modernized in the Meiji era etc. And also South Korea. And Taiwan etc.

I have a feeling that the western world is recently getting worse than in the past. Less rational at least. But maybe it's just my feeling. No idea.

Indeed. It's one of the bad things.

You're probably onto something with that last thought.
