Its the old Human Nature argument. There is no definition on what this fabled Human Nature is and I find it incredibly boring to reduce the nature of our species to one aspect of us, most people are selfish from time to time. But if selfishness is what define us, most people would be raging assholes and that does not square with my experience of the world.

- PakG1 7y agoMy experience is not that most people are raging assholes. It is that most people are clueless assholes like elephants who aren't aware of the ants they step on until they become "enlightened". I didn't use to think like this. The older I get, the more confused and disappointed I get. At times, I find that I am the clueless asshole. But I still hope that we can and will do better.
