Killing

Every human being is an unique individual. Thus it surprises me to see humans engage in collective herd-like behaviour. This collective mentality I think is highly destructive and is responsible for a lot of the world's problems.

Every human being is capable of being a psychopath, meaning that we have the capacity to choose the most selfish and least useful path (as in the prisoner's dilemma scenario) even though we're fully aware of the consequences. There is no group, organisation, race, or religion that can claim a monopoly on psychopaths. When individuals do so on behave of a collective, they're only using the collective to their advantage, as an excuse to be a psychopath.

This is by no means exhaustive and are listed in an arbitrary order; group classifications are also generally arbitrary but are based on human conflicts over the centuries. Please send any additions to me. Note that the present tense of the word "kill" is used as though these comments are made by an observer who is watching humanity with the time dimension compressed.
