“Life sucks”

This lowest size, the size of “despairing hostility”.

The person at Size One is alienated from others, expressing the view that “life sucks.”

Size One produces people who do horrible things. This is the kid who shot up Virginia Tech. Size One is a group where people systematically sever relationships from functional tribes, and then pool together with people who think like they do. Size One is literally the culture of gangs, and it is the culture of prisons. Now, again, we don't often deal with Size One. And I want to make the point that as members of society, we need to. It's not enough to simply write people off.

As people see the world, so they behave. Well, if people see the world in such a way that life sucks, then their behavior will follow automatically from that. It will be despairing hostility. The theme of their words is that life has given them a bad deal, so it’s OK to do whatever it takes to survive. They'll do whatever it takes to survive, even if that means undermining other people.
