Extend this beyond fiction. What misdeeds are we shrugging off because they're normal?
Religion. Schools. Television. Not caring about people remote from you. Spending effort on trifles. Akrasia. Irrationality.
Some would say, having political beliefs different from mine.
As far as schools, do you mean something about the specific way that we have schooling set up currently (and do you include universities in that?) or do you mean more generally?
I had in mind the education of children in school, as done in, I think, all of the developed world and a lot of the rest, and critiques like this one.
Universities may also have their faults, but not on the scale of misdeeds being considered, and, anyway, the people in them chose to go there.
Aaaah, okay. Yeah, I agree that that's a nasty aspect of our system.
