Humanity’s common nature, beyond the last few hundred years, is actually one of mutual aid and cooperation. I’d encourage you to look into the various Peoples Histories of the various parts of the world. It is increasingly clear the more data is gathered that the current system of elevating greed, avarice, selfishness etc, is a historical outlier on a history that stretches back hundreds of thousands of years of people collectively cooperating.

That is only true for people INSIDE their social circles.

INSIDE, jackass.

Everyone OUTSIDE is prey - that's why they're "outside".

I know "the various Peoples Histories of the various parts of the world" BETTER THAN YOU DO! I actually read the books and did the homework - you're the type of delinquent who copied off of me. I spent my life studying sociology and anthropology just to figure out why you motherfuckers hate me so much.

What life-threatening condition made you research sociology?

What a load of horseshit. Narcissists are in complete control of the Earth and have been since before the feudal era - don't hand me this bullshit about how effective "people collectively cooperating" are. I'll believe "people collectively cooperating" matter when they start carving up narcissists like it's a deli counter.

Now you’re asserting more and more to me. I’ve read plenty of books, we could go through some we’ve read if you really want to. Have you read Graeber and Wengrow’s “Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity”? How about Paulo Freire’s “Pedagogy of the Oppressed”? They’re pretty popular books, I wouldn’t be surprised if you have, but if not I’d recommend them. Do you have any recommendations for me?

Reconsider your morality? Get some moral integrity?

Which moral philosophy do you subscribe to?
