In a recent survey of 2,000 U.S. residents, 81 percent say they believe that humankind is inherently good. Three in four believe they themselves are fundamentally a good person. When researchers asked respondents how they would compare themselves to others in their lives, 46 percent went a step further, admitting (in their eyes) they’re “better” than everyone else they know.
The survey was conducted by OnePoll and commissioned by Behold Retreats, a wellness company that specializes in the therapeutic use of plant-based medicines to aid in personal and spiritual growth.
Looking at responses by gender, female respondents were less likely to think of themselves as good (67% vs 86% of men) and more likely to believe that humanity is inherently bad (20% vs 4% of men).
Respondents between the ages of 25 and 39 were least likely to claim they are a good person (68%). However, Millennial respondents were also the most likely to say they “didn’t think in terms of ‘good’ or ‘bad’” (12%).
Across the entire poll, 72 percent admit to judging other people’s behavior. Another 61 percent also worry other people are actively judging them. In general, Americans say that a good person should be kind (49%), giving (45%), and friendly (41%). When researchers asked respondents to list which qualities they wished to have however, 38 percent wanted to be more successful over anything else, even happiness (21%).

So nearly half think they’re better than anybody... I’d bet I know which half of America that is.
Men who are genetically more sensitive to androgens appear to be more likely to suffer severe Covid.
They are also more likely to have hair loss, called androgenetic alopecia, which affects around half of men over the age of 50.
The common condition also affects women in a different way, causing thinning at the crown of the head typically over the age of 65.
Androgenitic alopecia has previously been linked with several other conditions including heart disease and diabetes.
A team of US doctors measured men’s sensitivity to androgens by counting a chemical called CAG.
High levels indicate that a man is more likely to have hair loss.
Of 65 men hospitalised with the infection, those with high CAG levels had worse Covid outcomes in the 60 days following their hospitlisation.
