That’s not why most people are good though. I’m not talking about myself I’m simply stating the reality that most people are only good because of societal standards and expectations.
Think of the old west in America. Lawless. People dueling to the death over petty insults. Or the medieval period in Europe. Or the feudal age of eastern countries. They all had rampant crime and violence due to a lack of facing real consequence.
If you remove social consequence humans become the animals they have always been.
Edit: Also your last point proves mine. It’s only easier because otherwise you’ll be ostracized or worse.
Do you think the “old west” in America was actually like a western movie? Like, have you played red dead redemption and think that’s just how every day actually was? That fucking hilarious.
Also those “social consequences” kinda prove the other guys point. You’ll be ostracised because other people have empathy and look down/ostracise those who participate in immoral behaviour because they know it’s wrong.
