Morality is declining, right? Scientists say that idea is an illusion

StaticBoredom, This is incredible. Finally, something I can fire off to all those tiresome “these kids today” whiners.

borkcorkedforks, Seems like most people who complain about morals decaying tend to be people with a very particular moral code or people who forget the shit they got up to as a kid.
jh1010110, That could explain a part of it. I’m also wondering how much can be explained by our tendency to remember things more vividly when we were wronged. That could then easily spiral into confirmation biases that our morals are declining.
