    are we good or bad by nature? what is morality?

    humans are naturally apart of the way of the world and thus divine (good) by nature, thoughts?

    We are animalistic, driven by the need to survive.

    morals come from religion and philosophy. Stability comes from laws

    At our core, our sole goal is to survive and multiply

    only .00001% of ppl are good hearted.

    the rest only do good hearted things only if it benefits them, or if money is involved.

    Humans in general are trash by nature. You can make the argument that it’s because of scarcity or material conditions or whatever, but these conditions arise from nature itself. If we weren’t messed up then there wouldn’t be so many killings, rapes, robberies etc.

    i think this percentage is way off, there are way more good hearted people i think, still a smart percentage though

    we act in our own self interest first and foremost

    society as a whole and all the moral codes that resulted from it are an extension of that principle ie strength in numbers/cooperation

    Humans are filthy savages, just like all other animals, only difference is we have conscious thought, but at our core we aren’t any different than any other animal trying to survive.

    Humans can perceive things greater than themselves, but we’re still just animals at our core

    I think we are born good natured. It’s just many things happen to people and they change. Not everyone does

  • Dec 23, 2019

    I think neutral more or less. But not all ppl are born the same so it rly depends on alot of factors

    I def. Think environment generally overpowers genetics so a positive and benevolent environment is good for society overall.

    What defines u as a person is how you respond to your animalistic thoughts and urges

    Yes we are animals technically but we have the capacity to be much more than purely instinctual

    cooperation and compassion is also driven by the need to survive (as a group not as an individual) but it doesn’t make it any less honorable
