One's humanity isn't innate. It comes from living in society. There is the potential in every individual to regress to something so uncivilized as to be unrecognizable.
That means standards of human conduct shouldn't be taken for granted. They are not only desirable; they literally keep us human.

Human nature is the central fault of existence and the reflection of all social ills. It is not the system but its parts that are the problem. That is Lord of the Flies.
Add "Lord of the Flies" to "The Inspector General" by Kurt Vonnegut and you have a perfect picture of world insanity in progress today.

I had to read it in early adolescence, and the thing I got out of it was that boys are all dirty savages! I suppose there is more, but that's the enduring part. Some schoolboys were shipwrecked on an island with no (live) adults, and they became beastly little tribal savages.
