I feel like humans were never designed to have the amount of free time we do now , and because we didn't evolve to have all this time, we don't have consistently productive coping skills for it. So the little demon hamsters in our brains start up and before we know it we're madly involved in petty disagreements like they're life and death, and even more madly, some of those petty disagreements escalate into life and death situations.

Also, we've built a world where individuality is considered sacred, and the ability to cooperate and contribute is some sort of mild character flaw.
