Whenever I ask people for an answer, they just say we should accept whatever people believe, but that's not rational. [...] The thing with crazy people is they don't put a sign on themselves saying "I'm crazy."

“Without external threats and challenges people just fall apart. Imagine a video game where you start with infinite hit points, currency, and weapons. Your video game character would just turn into a complete degenerate who would just mess around out of boredom, the entire society would turn into Grand Theft Auto. Keep in mind the vast majority of people are selfish, dumb, and foolish, especially so without societies that socialize them to be better. Without external pressure, society collapses into degeneracy.”
