I just can't subscribe to that idea. If it took 1 dick to ruin everything society would never have gotten off the ground in the first place. Hell, even today, our power grid pretty much operates off the principle of 'don't be a dick and shoot this with the guns we all have" and it took MAGA craziness for people to attack them. I'd say compassion operates within any given system in spite of people being dicks and thats why we have prevailed the way we have.
