    No, being a selfish asshole is instinctive for humans. Being egalitarian is what must be taught

      I think both traits are taught and at the same time innate at the same time. While growing up, we learn an abstract value system that shapes when we want to be selfish and when not.

            Ok then you should know that there is a fucktonne of research about behaviors before values are capable of being learned

              I totally know. What I said is what ‘I think’ not what I ‘discovered’. There’s isn’t more science in it than in an educated guess. Taking a course doesn’t make me a behavioral scientist and even then claiming what I know is absolute is pure bs.

                … ok so then you know that without social training humans don’t really have a value system besides ‘make sure my needs are met’…
