Half feels right. The moral median is forever moving up. I can trust most people in a room to avoid murdering, robbing, raping, or engaging in political conversation with me, so that’s my rationale.
Pareto principle works here too. It’s like 20% are decent, 60% sit on the fence depending on context, and 20% are always awful.
These ratios are more strictly 20/80 the older the sample sets, ie roughly 80% of people over 65 are toxic, in most cases, even when their behavior hurts themselves.
Middle school is, was, and will be full of dicks. How 1/2 of all middle schoolers turn into decent people, I don’t know.
Lmfao you think 1/2 of everyone is decent? How optimistic of you

That’s a big ask of people nowadays, are you sure you didn’t set the bar too high. /S
“People”
“… what a bunch of bastards!”
Do not conflate fear of punishment with morality. Most people suck, but are at least capable of a very basic level of cost-benefit analysis.
