The best way to survive the 21st century is together. The way we do things today does not need to be, nor can it be, the way we do things tomorrow.

7 social processes that great the slippery slope of evil:

1. Mindlessly taking the first small step.
2. Dehumanisation of others.
3. De-individualisation of self (anonymity / being part of a crowd).
4. Diffusion of personal responsibility.
5. Blind obedience to authority.
6. Uncritical conformity to group norms.
7. Passive tolerance of evil through inaction, or indifference.
