Random thoughts on the blue highways.
You never know what you will find on the blue highways. Particularly when the choice at an intersection is controlled by the roll of a die. About the only rule is that highway onramps don't count as an intersection. You don't even have to roll the die. If one road looks interesting, go for it.

Born Good Learn Bad
Social animals are born socially
responsible at least within their species. That is they are born good.
Socialization begins at birth and in general reinforces good social
behavior. Play well with others, share, be empathetic, respect
authority, and don't hurt others. The good and bad news is that the
socialization is exclusively within the tribe. Belief Systems (BS) are
not generally important at this stage. I place the break at about
Kindergarten, where children begin to be exposed to those outside the
tribe. At that point BS about "them" enters the socialization process
and depending on the BS reinforced in Religious Education, and BS group
formation in school, bad habits and prejudice may come into play in the
social conditioning process.
