also these days with technology everywhere and information coming at us from all sides 24/7 it is more understandable that people are on a hair trigger with fighting back and retaliating because if something goes viral these days even if it's wrong or fake it can completely destroy you so people are more on a hair trigger and people are much more overly defensive because the stakes are a lot higher

If there's anything wrong about it I can't think of it to answer your question

This is something nobody would outwardly agree to... but worth some consideration. The information overload problem coupled with the social media explosion... yeah... it should probably be thrown into the equation also.

Feels somehow dirty to think that "humanity in general is declining", as you say. But the truth is that people with an ironclad word and honor seem more rare nowadays than the dodo.

I still balk at the idea that we have to SETTLE (caps on purpose) for whatever we drag from the bottom of the barrel, but what the hell...........
