Well that's in the environment. There's cultural influences like the television programming, news, Hollywood, and other media outlets. There's a
social component like our system of government and economics. Capitalism and democracy favor the individual over the collective, and 100%
individuality is essentially psychopathic. There's also things like environmental pollution. Heavy metals in the air, water, soil, food. Pesticides,
GMO's, fluoridated water, aspartame, etc, etc..
When people are fed junk, view junk, and act like junkies, they become a bit of a psychopathic junkie. Being sane in today's world is considered
weird verging on the point of insanity. It's all backwards and I have doubts that it'll be getting better any time soon.
