So many communities are experiencing unbridled crime.
Kids are engaging in this too easily.
While I don't know what is the solution, I have this model for the problem:
1. A sense of a personal moral bearing keeps you in check
-- When that isn't in place--
2. A fear that your community or family will abandon you
-- When that isn't in place--
3. The Law
We're at the level of The Law for many.
We need to solve the problem all the way back to #1.
@jurban what say you to behavioral genetics?
For instance, the results from the Twin Studies?
Too close to eugenics?
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
I'd never default to that premise.
Even if there is a grain of truth in it, it is not worth getting distracted from seeking or developing solutions.
@jurban regarding solutions, if gene therapy can be accurate and effective for treating disease could it maybe help with "bad seeds"?
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
I fundamentally don't believe that genetics, or mental health, is a consistent root cause of any of these issues.
It may be an influence, but not a primary one.
The problem lies elsewhere.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
I also don't believe in proposing solutions until you fully understand the problem.
You will probably miss or at least propose a sub-optimal solution.
