On a societal level you do the research and education but on the individual, it's not my business.

And the post you just quoted gave an example of perceived "explanations" and "excuses."

Thanks for answering. Education and outreach are important.

I don't know why you're stuck on whose business it is (LOL). As I said before, people make excuses to themselves and this often occurs before they feel the need to make excuses to others. Either way, the individual-level aggregates to society-level so it all eventually becomes society's business if it culminates to social problems that are correlated with other social problems.
