He flagged down a car that then drove off when they saw him. Then he knocked at an apartment complex for a minute before keeling over.
Bystander ignored dying Cash App founder Bob Lee as he begged for help
:“please citizen why won’t you help me”

Maybe if Tech Bros didn’t all dress like homeless addicts, people would help them.
San Fran’s not even violent if you just stop reporting crimes
Jim Ausman is that guy. He’d definitely have saved the poor multimillionaire.

Crime WAS worse in the 80s, but we successfully concentrated it down into hot spots. Should you be forced to traverse one of those by foot (sometimes called "entirety of sidewalk of several neighborhoods" or "front of store") ... may God help you. On the upside: highest number of billionaires in history!

In general, a tiny percentage of criminals commit a vast majority of violent offenses in the US. This corresponds to the number of people with psychopathy (or anti-social personality disorders). These criminals are frequently concentrated in small areas of big cities. Police could use predictive policing (and gang task forces) to target these criminals and keep close watch on them.
Bail reform, "defunding" departments, lower sentences, and civil rights complaints have stripped the justice system of many of the tools that it could use to isolate and lock up this small subsection of offenders. Activists have rightly questioned many of the methods that cops have used in the past but they have allowed the perfect to be the enemy of the good. Frequently when they target police departments and levy complaints at them, they are suggesting absurd replacements that will cause more harm than they prevent because they don't understand the nature of the problem and refuse to acknowledge the unique problems in the US (usually gangs, drugs, and guns ). The by-product of "good" policing would create demographic outcomes that they don't want to grapple with.

Yeah, ngl but as a SFBAcel if someone was waving down my car on the streets of SF in the middle of the night there's no fricking way I'm stopping unless it's a well-lit area with lots of people around.
It's not a matter of indifference to the welfare of my fellow humans, it's basic self-protection. Sadly.

That's what a no trust society is. An environment of distrust ("That man signalling for help is too suspicious") causes missed opportunities for mutually-beneficial interactions (saving a life).
The tragedy of no trust societies is that, like you said, even normal people are forced to make callous yet totally understandable decisions. However, everyone acting like buttholes reinforces that no one can be trusted, making it immensely difficult to reform.

Happened before i bought my house, but my neighbor said one kid laid on the sidewalk in front of a house nearby, pretending he fell off his bike. When the owner came out to help him, his brother ran inside and grabbed her purse.

Yeah if I was in San Francisco and someone stumbled up to me asking for help in the middle of the night there is a zero percent chance I would unlock my car or let a window down. If I were on the phone with someone in that situation and they were considering opening the car door or something I would call them fricking crazy. That is, ironically, how you get stabbed. When faced with this situation in SF you call 9/11 and you drive away.

There are still people who do trust and try to help, and often they get punished for it or regret it. If you remember Darrell Brooks who drove his car into a small town Wisconsin children's parade, fled the scene, and knocked on a random person's house to try and hide and was given food and hospitality until the police tracked him down.

It's interesting that neo-confucians picked mencius as their main inspiration, because earlier confucians preferred another confucian guy who taught that human nature is evil and can only be corrected by laws and education (unlike Mencius who said men are good but unrefined)

Neo-confusionism is trash because they removed the Taiost elements despite the alliance during the The Hundred Schools of Thought. We had an arrangement where they would have the government and we would have the faith, they betrayed us. Almost as bad as Buddhists.

They had the opportunity to save Toaism from Buddhist dogs and instead chose the middle path, ironic that would be death of the alliance. What would Lao Zhi think that his friends followers would stray this far from the path even after knowing their master witnessed the dragon. Shameful what they've become.

Mencius was an ardent defender of Confucianism against the competing philosophies of the time. Centuries later, Neo-Confucians found his arguments useful against the competing philosophies of their time. Especially Buddhism, which was a foreign import.

Hmm. There's a lot about China which is a foreign import though; conquest dynasties like the Jin, Yuan and Qing all left their mark on China's culture. Even the Tang were arguably ""rootless cosmopolitans" and/or warlords from the northwestern frontier
