I can't tell if this is a joke or not

  Child logic: we should help this person in need. Adult Genius Thought Leader Logic: if you help this person, you'll just make them dependent!

    As I've got older, and learnt more about the world, I genuinely think I've become less moral. I used to care about the big issues. Now I rationalise leaving the lights on and the tap running, and make effort not to stand up for what's right when it feels like it would weaken my social status.

      Do you think there is any relationship to the old saw about how young liberals evolve into old conservatives? For what it's worth, I notice the same thing in me as I get older. I don't think it will turn me into an actual conservative, mind you, because there's way too much other baggage that goes along with that. I figure I'm just becoming more misanthropic the more I learn about my fellow humans.

      As a teen I liked republicans for some reason. Then I rallied around team blue for a while, now in my mid 30s I am calling for a violent global revolution against the billionaires, before they get a chance to establish mars/moon colonies. I'm doing it Benjamin Button style I guess.
