    Evolution has made us a lot of things, but mostly it made us cooperative beings. We have the ability to do all kinds of good, bad, and gray-area stuff, it’s more a matter of which of those behaviors our society pushes us towards.

      Correct. Current society brings the worst behavior to the front, but all humans have the capability to behave in many many ways according to environment. Claiming that “Human nature” is a certain way, is one of many very dangerous Capitalist excuses. That way all problems are caused by ‘bad humans’, not a ‘bad ideology’. Problem ‘fixed’, but ANY form of Capitalism = fighting for your life/livelyhood on a daily basis, or die trying. This mechanism put everyone in a merciless race to the bottom of social behavior - ME first attitude, that harms everyone.

      Too bad the rich Oligarchs own humanity’s information apparatus…
