im not sure what to think.

I know I got a DUI and never drove intoxicated, well not that day anyways. I appeared very guilty though...

I was driving recklessly and when I got to where I was going I took a handful of pills and started drinking. What I didn't know was that someone had reported me, everyone has a camera and thinks they're a cop now. So the cops show up and I'm wasted out of my mind and they have a video of me driving like a crazed maniac. BOOM guilty as charged.

That’s why it’s advised to not drink or take any controlled substances in a few hours after driving recklessly or being involved in accidents or other incidents as that might make things worse down the line.
If there is a good reason for the behavior, things might be explained and let go, but if one is riggedy wrecked.. well.. not so much.

I printed stuff out and the black ink wasn’t very clear.

Cartridges at rated for a certain amount of pages. I’ve used a few printers and find replacing cartridges with cheaper alternatives work just as well or better. One can get more bang for the buck and far more pages for lesser cost.

I got sick of ink jets though. Used them as I needed color and color laser was way too expensive then. Bought a laser printer instead and ran through hundreds of pages without changing the cartridge. I’ve changed it once, and got a different brand.

I was printing text, but I’m high volume so I could not defend the cost of using an inkjet. I saved on buying a laser printer compared to buying cartridges.

They also scam on the cartridges and many of them can be hacked or refilled to allow more pages. There are tutorials on YouTube on this.

Having many people in the world is handy as many encounter the same problems. Thus one can find solutions.

I paid less than $50 for my two laser printers. I had to get another one as I could not pick up the one I had because of distance. It was cheaper to buy new than the fuel to collect.

A lot of tech is dirt cheap. Or can be found barely used second hand for a fraction or even for free.
Cartridges of course is a different story so shopping around and planning ahead is important. I always kept a spare set when running ink jets. With the laser I got notified when I had 100 pages or so left, so plenty of time to find replacement.

Are people inherently good or evil?

Good and evil are psychological constructs based on the individuals viewpoint. So it’s impossible to answer this question.

We follow norms developed over centuries, but lack the whole picture and also the imagination to fill in the gaps.

A lot of acts deemed good or evil can be reversed with knowledge or rendered as something in between as the more data one has makes it much harder to determine anything in black and white.

The dualism is a faulty system as it defines everything as one or the other. If the belief system in a person is of this nature, there will be tremendous upheaval as the psyche tries to define everything while holding on to the selected ideals. This leads to deeply neurotic behavior and causes the mind to fragment and would in turn manifest as mental illness.

The natural state of humans is cooperation. There is no good or evil in that. The social construct comes in to determine what the larger group will define within their created belief system.

If you study humanity as from the perspective of an extra terrestrial, things will make more sense.

The onlook on the world is also largely a construct of the onlooker. The individual sees good or bad in the world as a projection of the dualism within himself.

Soooo...
in short one could say it depends on you and what you believe.

You lack self acceptance. That is the root to your insecurities.

Any ideas for how to counter mob mentality?

No, that's definitely not my intention.

I don't want to lead anyone. I just want to know if there is a way to motivate people to think instead of just blindly going along, especially if what they are going along with goes against their own stated morality or values.

Yes, by becoming an individual.

You wont even have to speak. Just by walking through a group of people your influence will start the process.

Why are many young people proclaiming their bipolar?

Living in an unsane environment has effects on the psyche.

Anyone that is not struggling internally is of a much greater concern than those who do.

No, I mean to cause people who are already in a mob to think for themselves instead of just following.

If you become an individual you hold the power to inspire.

What you are talking about now is merely becoming a dictator where you impose your view and beliefs on others.
By becoming an individual, the ones that can take in the information will come to you for it. The rest is not of your concern nor your responsibility to control.
