“my, my! humans! so aggressive.”

rape, murder, nukes, war, torture, power, seemingly unlimited greed…

why don’t i have that insatiable drive?

can’t all be how i was raised, can it?

do you know of any studies or philosophical insights?

thx! 🙂

    A lot of those shitty things aren’t normal in humans, but become much more common if you force them into violent, existential conflicts.

    And insatiable greed is promoted as good at almost every level of neoliberal society, so that one should be self-explanatory.

    People just say “human nature” as an excuse for their own conservatism
