Rats are actually sociable swarm animals with high social intelligence - unless you force them to live too many in a strictly limited and too narrow habitat. In that case, a frenzy breaks out, they fall over each other and bite each other to death. - It has been demonstrated in animal experiments.
We live in pretty broken societies with pretty broken media and pretty broken role models, in which the parents' homes often fail in their educational function, for whatever reason, and cities crowded with people and people beign aorudn everyhwere, and too few calm nature around. Deconstruction of standards everywhere, uninhibited relativization of values in general, and hilarious fors of madness being declared the new normal, sanity getting sanctioned and even penalized.
And then we are surprised...?
