You aren't going to "fix" human nature. At least not without eugenics and execution of those who don't think "right". Saying we should be humane and cooperate with each other doesn't cut it. It's as much a pipe dream as anarchism. Although I agree with that philosophy it's never gonna work with humans. High number of sociopaths, prison experiments, the us vs attitude that permeates must all human social constructs, preponderance of human history is the proof. Humans are just too shitty to have nice things.
- mrottenkolber 11y agoWhat do you mean by fix? I am talking about improving the situation. History has proven this is very well possible. Women can vote now. Slaves in America became rare. There is a notion of human and international rights, which is quite new. Witches aren't burnt, gay sex doesn't get you killed. Do you think that the status-quo is as good as we can do? I don't thin so.
