Human variation is natural and healthy for society they 99.9999999999% of human evolution.

If a bear just showed up and ate a dude, everyone would die if they just stayed hidden forever because they’re scared of the bear.

So it’s completely normal to have some percent of the population have a total refuse to take potential consequences seriously, they were the expendables who went out first and loudly shout “if a bear was still here, why isn’t it eating me?”.

The issue with modern society is we no longer let the idiots risk their lives and die. So society as a whole doesn’t get those reminders that negative consequences are real. And those idiots get to live to old age, and not only refuse to take consequences seriously, but they insist everyone else does the same thing.

It’s just one of the many ways humans didn’t evolve for modern society and why modern history just keeps going thru the same loop.

You might not think of the 1500s as a technologically advance nanny state, but it is compared to before clothes when taking a shit at most involved pausing for a few minutes before continuing about your day.
