A popular trope these days but is there a basis for it? IME, almost every human I know cares deeply about what happens to other humans, to their country, community, family, etc. Many animals certainly bond with their families, some bond with humans and will die protecting them. I strongly doubt that creature are so narcissistic.
- igiveup 4y agoOther humans != human species. Let alone specific other humans, like my family. I know what happens to each individual human: They will die. I don't like that very much, but making human species survive doesn't seem to help. I don't really care if new, stranger humans will be born to learn about my time in history classes, and eventually die, too.
