Penn leaned heavily into the position that without coersion or regulation people would generally "do the right thing". He leaned on this heavily within the show as well.

I get wanting to be positive, but that type of naivety from folks pretending to be "intellectual" and "skeptical" is completely ridiculous. It's a philosophy less complex than an average Disney princess.

The general reaction to covid also shocked me quite a bit, it was almost like there was no self preservation instinct in a ton of people.
