I read “Humankind” by Rutger Bregman and now think this is not true.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will check that out.
If anything, it’s a lot more optimistic about human nature than what we’re used too. It’s refreshing and well argued. Worth a read!
That is good to know. My original post was a bit reductionist, I do generally feel that people try to do good and are much more co-operative than adversarial. It is just that we can be dragged into a defensive/attack position easily if we do not keep an eye on that.
I suspect that despite all the issues of the world, we are slowly heading to a future that will be much more peaceful.
