    The biggest thing I learned in philosophy is that there are a significant number of people that are just fine with terrible things being done to a person if they didn’t take any precautions against it. Apparently it’s fine to rob someone if they didn’t lock their door.

    Knowing how many people are apparently incapable of basic abstractions has been eye opening.

      If there’s no barrier against it, they do it until they’re forced not to.
