God how did I forget about that. Gladiators in the Roman empire, hangings in King Henry's time, lynchings during the Jim Crow era ... human beings really are violent, aren't we?

Yes, you're absolutely right, but I'm specifically thinking about my great grandmother who grew up in the great depression. Her response to negativity was always "oh well, let's keep moving forward anyway." But mine has always been "oh well, might as well give up -- if I die I die."
That's the specific difference I'm interested in. Although that might just be me.

>Dude we've had daily reporting on horrors uncountable for my entire lifetime. Who, at this point, is left who has any soft skin to be uncomfortable
This is horrifying and a good question. I wonder I'd our brains are wired differently than those of our ancestors. The increasingly common response of "oh well" to things like the heat death of the universe or nuclear Armageddon probably wouldn't have existed 100 years ago. Or maybe it would have.

Why invest into healthcare for the mentally ill when you can murder all of us instead?
