OMFG - the morality section of my uni course is fucking soul destroying.
Only 10-15% of people over 20 consider true justice rather than just what they're told to do by law/social rules.
Around 5% of people are considered to be ‘consistently’ at Stage 5 reasoning (prioritising human rights).
There is a whole 6th stage, caring about everyone involved and wanting everyone not to suffer, which is so rare people don't even agree on if it exists....
Jesus fucking christ.

@alexisbushnell oh gosh I think I took a similar course. I felt so out of touch. I'm still not sure I really believe it... surely, given the opportunity... most people......

@alexisbushnell Do you have a link that explains these stages? I'd like to read more about that, but I'm not sure where to even begin looking.

@alexisbushnell obviously stage six exists; you've just defined it. the question is whether anyone is ever in it

@alexisbushnell Ugh. It explains so much of the behaviour we see.
