  The social contact, I promise to follow the rules of the land as long as you follow the rules of the land. 
  I always find it fascinating when the laws, rules and customs of an area breakdown. Thousands of years of social growth, go away quite quickly. Everything gets distilled down to tribes, who is in your circle of trust.
context: This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.
  Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"
  (For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)
  Rule-breaking posts may result in bans. >
  
  Sounds a lot like something someone who's trying to kill me would say... >
  
  Def not in your walls rn >
  
  If you living in my wall you helping with the rent bruh >
  
  Yeah I should probably get a job >
  
  I don't trust them not to kill me; I just trust that they fear the consequences enough not to do it >
  
  Isn’t that basically the same thing…? >
  
  Almost.  But the way I see it: "trust people not to kill me" might be taken as "I doubt they want to/can kill me" 
  vs
  "I trust them to fear consequences" can mean "I fully believe they can kill me and they want to kill me and that punishment is all that is stopping them" >
  
  Anytime you get in a car, you’re trusting other peoples judgement. I’ve seen way to many “idiots in cars” videos to know that it’s just a matter of time. >
  
  Yeah it’s gonna happen at some point and that’s what worries me honestly >
  
  Thx god I drive for a 14 years, almost every day and didnt have collision with another car or someone bump me. In traffick you always have to watch for another more than yourself. And keep distance. >
  
  You're right! I shouldn't wait for this MF to try, I'm making the first move here. >
  
  Damn right show em whos the boss >
  
  i think we just forget we want to kill each other all the time >
  
  That’s why i have so little patience for people who try to completely disclaim any notion of social responsibility or a duty to other people. Like go live in a tree and be an ape then >
  
  Just return to monke honestly that’s the way to go >
  
  Please wiggah, you got it backwards. It takes every once of my being not to be a murderer myself. >
  
  With every comment, you have to trust other redditors not to downvote you >
  
  Same concept honestly just less life threatening >
  
  Just do not be an unbearable jackass and people who would want to murder you goes down significantly even almost 0. >
  
  I wish some people would understand it’s that easy >
  
  It was exponentially worse before large powerful state governments took over that role of worrying about making sure every person you meet doesn’t decide to kill you. Just a few thousand years ago, you probably had about a 1 of of 5 chance of dying from murder. Today in large social government societies like Western Europe it’s about 1 in 100,000, USA is about 1 in 35,0000. And even the most dangerous parts of the world and during world wars it’s still below 1 in 1000. >
  
  I’m not scared, what are the odds two killers are in the same room >
  
  No thanks. I have (too many) more useful things to worry about.
