Man is inherently cooperative, understanding, and sociable; we wouldn't be around anymore if the opposite was true. It's divisive ideologies (racism, sexism, religion, statism, etc.) that make us believe otherwise. It's human nature to adapt, change, and not give in to our primal instinct of labelling "others," which ultimately is what causes us to be violent. One does not have to hope that people wake up to this reality, but can in fact show others that this is possible. Sure, it won't happen overnight, but realizing the singularity of the species is ultimately what I see as the purpose of the human condition. https://youtu.be/c1nYtX-NUsc
