There's got to be some way of predicting which people will transform themselves into the shittiest assholes, and put them all in the same shitty school, so that they can all burn it to the ground together, and we only sacrifice one worthless safety school, rather than 40 or 50 valuable institutions. This is probably unrealistic, since one person's enjoyable experience is often in direct conflict with another's misery. Maybe it just needs to to go down so that all the noisiest, most adversarial assholes, likely to compliment each other's misery land in the same place, make the most noise, and it looks like a huge, ridiculous disaster, but through this, 99% of everyone else's time at school goes smoothly, far far away from the well-isolated, planned demolition of losers. Is this how wars start?

>There's got to be some way of predicting which people will transform themselves It's predictable to a large degree. Between moral foundations ( Jonatan Haidt, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI1wQswRVaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI1wQswRVaU ) and hormone levels (IIRC Gad Saad, can't locate specific video right now, some example articles below) there is growing body of scientific research relating to how much moral and political alignment is function of our body and brain. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2015/08/05/political-beliefs-genetic/ http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2015/08/05/politic... http://www.unl.edu/polphyslab/polpsycharticle.pdf http://www.unl.edu/polphyslab/polpsycharticle.pdf

  Just have to point out as Haidt says, predisposed does not mean predetermined. Our ability to control and choose our individual behavior is what distinguishes us from animals as a species.
