    I have a legitimate question.

    Is this shit genetic?

    Is there some line of fucking code in the brain that’s just waiting for a certain level of popularity/wealth to kick in and make you wanna fuck children?

    I’m legitimately curious because it happens so often and it just makes me think about how many simply haven’t been caught.

      I think there’s mainly 3 choices here , it could be that we’ve created a society where people with little to no empathy or regard for social norms excel. It could be that amassing so much wealth in our society requires people to adopt an ethical flexibility, and that flexibility eventually spills over into all aspects of their lives.

      Or, it could be that morality and ethics are simply social construct that are quickly set aside as soon as society loses its ability to enforce its social mores.

      All options appear to be not very groovy.
