There are pockets of relative rationality in society, and pockets of altruism, and sometimes they even overlap in time and proximity. It's a big mess, this society thing, but you know, just focus on being your best self and a good influence on what's around you. Don't let the broad view of humanity bring you down. It's probably a bit skewed by some jerks using your biases against you to get your attention and show you ads or something, and there's truth to the "life is what you make of it" platitudes. (Is this post now a self-referential platitude? ...is it self-aware? Maybe I can convince that one Googler it's come to life.)
