@o_andras @yogthos I'm pretty sure that at its core, basic human goodness is overcoming the natural instinct of individual selfishness and doing what's best for everyone as a whole.

But thats the exception. Being selfless is exceptional.

I think that by default, in our natural state, we'd be greedy, consuming as much resources as we can.

My argument is dumb and falls a little short, I know. But the truth is in there somewhere, I'm sure of it.
