    He’s not wrong.

    We’re still a bunch of greedy monkeys, and no amount of education or “proper parenting” can fully override the base biology all the time for every person.

    As much as it would be great to be better, we aren’t even close.

      Yeah, he raises a good point.

      The question then becomes: how do we make the people who feel excluded (and hence want to burn everything down) feel included?

    Fucking depressing, and totally accurate

    Humans just aren’t actually good. We’re capable of amazing things, and also great cruelty

    We’re right in the middle. The scales tip in whatever direction circumstances dictate. It’s quite something, especially because we all want to b the the “good guy”. We’re just not wired that way

      Humans are selfish. It just depends on what they’re selfish with. Me? I’m selfish with my time. Others, money, or labor, or any number or combination of things. Humans are good, we just can’t agree on what ‘good’ is.
