Which is it: selfishness is "learned", or selfishness is the product of thinking. Could the same article have the headline below?:
"Sharing Is Stupid: We tend to be cooperative when we think too little"

While both could be true, its more about which is more true. (Although I don't think selfishness and cooperation are necessarily opposites either.)
