How they are being manipulated by so many things; advertisements, the media, influencers, social media posts, the entertainment industry. The biases aren't all bad but they definitely exist.

Cars.
They are everywhere, they take for themselves the majority of public space in urban areas and they are incredibly dangerous, noisy, expensive.
Yet majority of people barely notice them -
That while they judge themselves by their best intentions, they invariably, and subconsciously judge others by their actions.
Once you realise most people are just trying to get through the day and most people aren't trying to make things worse for others, it's easier to forgive perceived slights, and that will make your own day better, and make you less likely to subconsciously slight someone else.
Ah, the Fundamental attribution error

That they're never going to watch the video they're taking on their cell phone at a sporting event, or concert, or political event, or whatever.
And just live in the moment instead.

That when you turn off social media and stop getting your morning dose of "what should I worry about today" life becomes a lot easier.

People rarely notice anything above their eyeline. It has to be directly in front of them or slightly down to be noticed.
Look UP people! There's a whole other world there.
Apparently thats because we dont have any natural predators in the air (or at least didnt when we had to worry about that.)
I wonder if drone warfare is going to change that up for us over the generations?

Just a few hours ago I was almost run over by a person who was smoking while driving, thus distracted.
Just because they couldn't wait 5 minutes to smoke another cancer stick they almost kill a person and spend the rest of their good years in jail.

The high pitch noises from so many electronic items. Just as an example HP printers have a high pitch whine from their power supplies. I literally can’t be in the room with them. If more noticed less people would buy the garbage.

That they are not alone. Everyone is having a day just like themselves so being considerate and respectful goes a long way to making it work for everyone.
There are also people that are not like you so you might not understand the behavior of everyone but it could be that that person is struggling the same way you are (when you are) but it might look different.

That no man is an island. And even the things you do "staying in your lane" affect those around you.
I'd also love for people to remember that breaking social contracts used to lead to duels and that's why you saw a dip in violence and breeches. But we stopped doing that and now violence and breeches of social contracts are happening more often.
And lastly I'd like all the people complaining about the biosphere in this thread to remember that they're Debbie Downers and that's why no one invites them to parties.
I'm joking about the last one. I agree with them, I just think the solution is getting off this planet as quickly as possible Oregon Trail style.
