They have minimal moral motivation (https:\/\/fakenous.net\/?p=272), and weak internal motivations in general. They are easily swayed by circumstances, especially by people around them. So the reason why your neighbor doesn\u2019t grab your wallet or punch you in the face when you annoy him is not that it would be wrong to do so. The reason is that it\u2019s against the social norms \u2014 he doesn\u2019t see other people doing that, he knows that other people would disapprove of it, and society might punish such behavior. That\u2019s really the main reason.<\/p>\n<p>People\u2019s allegiance to social norms is emotional, not intellectual. They just feel like they have to follow the norms. So they\u2019re not very subtle about it \u2014 e.g., people aren\u2019t very good at distinguishing good social norms from bad ones. Also, some of the norms are vague and general, like \u201cTreat people with a certain level of respect, even when you disagree with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The most valuable thing that America has \u2014 the thing that makes things go better in innumerable ways than the way they go in 99% of other societies \u2014 is not its wealth, nor its particular laws and policies, nor even its Constitution. The most valuable thing is a set of norms and institutions that managed to take hold and become stable. Or at least metastable.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/video-games\/2021\/04\/19\/streamers-mental-health\/ https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/01\/08\/rioters-left-feces-urine-in-hallways-and-offices-during-mobbing-of-us-capitol\/ https:\/\/fakenous.net\/?p=2154 https:\/\/fakenous.net\/?p=2134 &#8220;The first thing to understand about humanity is that most human beings have very little character.
