Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

I really don't understand how people can reconcile this kind of data with a positive opinion of humanity
40% of people saying 'spanking children is not a moral issue' is probably the worst datapoint here. At least 4 in 10 people are fully just animals blundering around operating on instinct and following what feels good. And that's not even counting the other people whose idea of morality is just 'what is my visceral reaction' who had a visceral reaction.

This is why when people talk about AI not really being intelligent, but just glorified word association, I say, is that really any different from the average person?
