so you think human nature is good? you are more insightful than everything from buddhism to christianity to Nietzsche to the evil in the human heart manifest all through history..... ? simply declaring that its the "incentives" lets me know that your balls have receded sufficiently that they are now affecting your larynx? i would love for you to go practice this inpenetrable reasoning with the venezeulan gangs taking over Aurora... where do you get this idea that people are by nature "kind" from?

its not about entertainment... its about you pushing "all people are kind" kindergarten level bullshit... at a time when the evil is in men is so fucking obvious you would have to be peaking on ayahuasca to deny it...

its a simple question about human nature dude... YOU are going against pretty much all philosophy religion and history with your assertion that human beings are "kind" by nature... onus is on you nigger.

Incentives rule. Steinbeck wrote in East of Eden: "I believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents. Some you can see, misshapen and horrible, with huge heads or tiny bodies; some are born with no arms, no legs, some with three arms, some with tails or mouths in odd places. They are accidents and no one's fault, as used to be thought. Once they were considered the visible punishment for concealed sins And just as there are physical monsters, can there not be mental or psychic monsters born? The face and body may be perfect, but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can produce physical monsters, may not the same process produce a malformed soul?" I concur. But the overwhelming majority of human beings are born kind and with an instinct for cooperation. My experience confirms this, and I think it's logical. But when evil men are allowed to design institutions that dictate incentives, mosg people also have the capability of acting in malevolent ways. That's also logical and in line with my experience. Now, I'm not going to discuss this with you. You might find something useful in Bregdan's book. At least it won't hurt you. And it's well written

steinbeck huh? absolute bullshit that completely ignores the existence and purpose of the Will. this is passive starry-eyed nonsense that gets your daughters raped by invaders. open eyes. grow up.

who cares what you think? you make grand assertions about human nature that goes against 5000 years of human thought, history and experience and then your pussy hurts when someone asks you to define your shit... "but this is MY experience" narcissism is a real bitch.

You're welcome, you have encountered my kind self tonight. Let's catch up later, see if we agree on something too. No hard feelings. Didn't want to say stupid thing to you, but you craved it so much, so I thought I would just have to give it to you.
