Until covid, based on the people I knew who lived through the wars who happened to be all women and who were literally scared of god and devil, I thought people were just dumber in all regards then.

Covid demonstrated that no. Only the tools and processes that people use in everyday life and work have become so fool proof, that everyone seemed organized and much more rational. But presented with a threat that they were not tained for, they convert back to a scared bull that is irrationally attacking everyone around. Fortunatelly now they are not trained on any arms other than complaining and reporting. Else there would have been shooting maskless people in the streets.

So far I was unable to find any proof that this stupidity is not determined by birth. I mean, you can train a dog to behave a certain way under your supervision, but left alone it will revert back to being a wolf in a matter of days if not hours, regardless of millenniums of training and not seeing the nature.

Until proven otherwise, I am sticking to a theory that there are two genes floating around (how in the hell did they mix up in the first place?): herd people (stupid, dependent and scared (abundant and in childhood rarely misguided by the solitary type)) and solitary people (rational and calm (rare and in childhood often misguided by the herd type)).
