How do you view humanity in general?

[Duty]

I believe that the vast majority of people on Earth are conscientious and well-meaning individuals who do the best they can with the resources they have.

This. Humanity is a profoundly mixed bag of 7.7 billion people, from Fred West to Greta Thunberg, for example, so the question posed in the OP is a ridiculous binary (me VS them) over simplification in general. Given the axiom "call a man a thief and he becomes a thief" however, I think it's massively preferable to look on the bright side/glass half full side, and adopt Astreja's position. There are plenty of good willed people around...Army of the Good, my dear late Gran called it.

Seems to be the case.  Generational gap.  I suppose people learn at some point.

I am a very wise person. Not everyone can be wise. And it has nothing to do with age.

The relevant axiom here would be: "Hire the young, while they still know everything."
