On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being none, 10 being all) how much faith do you have in humanity? (i.e. is there good in this world)
Either 1 or 2. Most people are brainwashed sheep who care incapable of thinking for themselves or refuse to think for themselves and they don't care about individual rights. They don't see what's going on or they don't care. Most people are bootlicking, slavery-loving, freedom-hating sheep. On top of that is all the corruption, greed, evil and lack of compassion. There's also a huge lack of common sense. There is good in this world but sadly, I think there's more bad than good. I hate that the world isn't better than it is.
Too many categories going on at once, to pick a number.

There's a lot of good in the world, just as there's a lot of evil in the world. Most people are mostly benign and have a conscience, but they can be deplorably inconsiderate/damaging too, just depending on context. How socially acceptable something is, how easy it is to ignore the damage, the emotional/aesthetic framing of it, encouragement by peers, how much they stand to gain from it, chances of being caught, etc. etc.
My faith in humanity isn't based so much on the ratio of good to evil, but on whether I think humanity will ever make it to utopia or will always be ruled by evil and steeped in suffering. Evil rules the world because evil is the greater power seeker and because having no conscience means more effective tactics are on the table for you. And evil/selfishness loves to exploit as many people as possible for personal gain.
Maybe the dominance of evil, corruption, pain and suffering is more of a factor in my faith or lack of faith in humanity than our projected future, I'm not sure. As for our future, the idealist and spirtualist in me thinks we'll eventually emotionally evolve and make it to utopia, but the realistic observer in me thinks things will never improve that much until the day we destroy ourselves or at least have to start over again. Whichever may faith is based on, I'd say it's about a 2. I think I'm just bitter.
Very little these past few years (1/10).. Far right authoritarianism is growing in Europe and in the US, White Nationalists seem more emboldened and in the public conscience than ever thought possible, the US is being ran like a Banana Republic.. What concerns me is the level of complacency we're seeing. Back when Trump was still running for president his poll numbers actually went up the more racist he got. And they're still extremely high (close to 90% among Republican voters) in spite of everything he's done. If tear gasing asylum seeking families (women and children) make you go "oh yeah, take that libs!" You're a revolting, irredeemable pile of shit.
Given we make other living beings extinct on a scale of around 100 species per year there well might come another species doing the same to us. Faith or not, it isn't something anybody cares about. I fear there isn't enough good in this world. We would need 60% or more, but that level is below the healthy 50%. So in short the answer is 1.

0, but we are selfish and know deep down, we can't behave like 0 so because of that a 3.123.
