    That’s a good point. Let me rephrase then: I believe all humans are selfish by nature and so inherently are more easily prone to acting out even if it affects others negatively (intentionally). As in, there’s probably a reason why the baby is crying sometimes or there’s a reason the baby gets angry. Humans have to be taught to tame their demons because without empathy, everything would be an eye for an eye. By default, I don’t think humans have it in them to see right from wrong unless they’re taught either directly or indirectly. Something something nature and nurture something something. My 2 cents.

    I’d one up that and say there shouldn’t be countries. The concept makes no sense. US propaganda always tries to make China and Russia out to be the “enemy” meanwhile when its Trump doing bad things, the world also says its the US causing problems. All of the sudden, what one or two bad people do somehow means the whole country is at fault. If we took out all the bad people and chucked them out, we could all just be people. No nations, no nothing—just people.

    • Modern flip phones (e.g. Samsung Fold) are stupid and gimmicky industrial design failures.
    • Humans are not good by nature. They are taught to be good but even babies cry and get angry without anyone teaching them.
    • The Cat in The Hat movie with Mike Myers was not as bad as critics claim and actually had good undertones patched together with modern humor that is more profound in recent times than when it was originally released. It was actually ahead of its time.
    • Apple/MacOS isn’t actually a better platform and is only designed to give the impression that it is simpler even though people still have to learn how to use it.
    • Adult services should be legal in all countries and the workers involved should get paid with benefits/protections just like everybody else. This is assuming capitalism cannot be removed from the picture.
    • VTubers shouldn’t be showing their actual bodies. It defeats the purpose of using the moniker in the first place.
    • Education should be free without any debt involved. There is legitimately no good reason why education and knowledge should be pay-walled.
    • Euthanasia should be legal where the person no longer wishes to subject themselves to failing health is granted control over their body. Forcing such people to keep living is selfish and pertains cruel and unusual.
    • Hollywood should not be idolized and is actually part of the problem with things being f’d up rn. There is no good reason why actors or any kind of artist should be making all that money while the rest of society gets by with the scraps we toss around while the rich get richer. The same goes for any kind of celebrity, really. I don’t even leave out sports people in this.

    This took me twice as long to finish because every other point I ended up with something political. So this is pretty much the least triggering or offensive I can make my list. Good grief.
