Double meh.

I think you're pretty much on point, until your last paragraph, which seems pretty childish itself if you ask me.

Lots of people make all sorts of bad choices, and yes, sometimes they result in terrible outcomes. It's important to analyze the choices of others (which you have done, fairly well) to learn from them but it's also always important to muster empathy regardless of whatever path they have taken.

Choose not to do so and you may find yourself blinded by the allure of logical oversimplification as you walk a path down towards some pretty maladaptive behaviors yourself.
