    People hate it when you say this. But it’s legit.

    Yeah, I knew that was gonna get downvotes.

    You put it far more eloquently.
    We all combine together to achieve/do what humanity does.

    Additionally we also tend to romanticise horrible things (rich ppl, warmongering & wars, empires doing horrible things, even lapdogs professional middleman agents like CEOs and generals get fame during and long after their deaths). Which ofc tends to reward, or I should say, we reward ppl that behave as such.




  • Idk, environment def has an affect - but then again “being good” should prob go for when it’s easy & for when it’s hard to do so. Otherwise it’s the environment who decides, not the individual. And what has been the environment of humanity but the few who ruled it throughout the ages?

    Do you mean to say good until a time to show said goodness comes?

    What do you base that the average person is good?
    I would say the average person would kill another person for 100k monies (in case of no other consequences & ease, like press of a button).

    I’m not seeing much else unfortunately, just goodwashing stories of philanthropy & such.

    Eg Romans didn’t have issues pillaging & then subjugating entire provinces to the empire, kill any opposition to the pillaging or trade. Except for scales, such this aspect of “goodness” before and after.

    Do ppl really look at all the constant killing for power & think this has nothing to do with humanity, just a few bad apples?
