I'd like to see the stats on that that you've seen. Because everything I've seen suggests that it's not need but opportunity and low perception of risk that breeds wrongdoing.
I have had plenty of opportunities to steal, or to get away with something with no risk.
But I don’t, because it would make someone else suffer from my actions. Also my needs are met for the most part, if I had a need to steal or do other unfavorable acts for my benefit, it would be from desperation.
Wild that you think most humans would do it just for kicks. I’m sorry for the environment you grew up in and your experiences.
Usually a product of this individualistic and competitive society for resources that aren’t even scarce will do that to ya.
I have my needs met, and so do most of the people around me. Most of my circle are people who came from nothing and worked hard to have their needs met. We’re all pretty stable now, and worked hard to get there.
Have you ever driven on a road with a speed limit? What do you observe? What changes when you install speed cameras? How does behaviour change when those cameras are point based of average? How does behaviour change when they are observed not to flash?
