Manuscript Title: Measuring Humanities’ Self-protecting Views
Abstract: This manuscript presents a Divine Evaluation of mankind’s ability to maintain favorable, moral self-views against overwhelming contrary evidence. One million individuals were randomly selected from across the planet, including different cultural and industrial human organizations. Results revealed no significant relationships between canonically immoral behaviors and moral self-perceptions. Rather, a ceiling effect for moral self-perceptions was observed, providing further evidence that mankind interprets the world and makes decisions relative to self-interest and self-protecting beliefs rather than the good of their neighbors or fellow beasts. Implications for the apocalypse are proposed.
Keywords: Mankind, apocalypse, self-perceptions, immorality.
