reply guys

while i do not think humans are inherently evil, i do think we are inherently selfish. however i also do not think this is a bad thing

do you think we are inherently selfless as well ?

they definitely are! you know i’m starting to come around to what you’re saying. but let’s take it to the bare bones of society, if the choice is between preservation of self vs preservation of others.. what wins?

i think its a lot easier to be selfish for sure , but could love, compassion, and artistic/spiritual/w/e inspiration also be deeply human qualities?

nope. if anything i think selflessness goes against the grain of humanity. great acts of selflessness require inspiration (love, compassion, etc) selfishness does not.
