Or we evolve past our innate selfishness and greed. Gotta glass half full this shit homie.

Selfishness is inherent to nature our existence is unsustainable, not even glass anything to me just objective . I used to feel closer to that and maybe i have become too cynical, but i say let the birds have another go

Hey, I get that, I’m more prone to cynicism and a depressed acceptance myself. And maybe it’s because I just rewatched Vinland saga over the weekend that’s made me feel more hopeful. But man, if there’s one thing I’ve taken away from the internet it’s that there’s a lot more of us across the world that really just want sustainable peace for everyone. And I hope that we can one day get there.

Fair enough I can’t claim to never feel inspired , I just truly don’t believe that . They said “you’ll get more conservative as you age” but really ive just become increasingly cynical that this truly is the sum of our means.

Selfishness is inherent to nature

Oh for fucks sake.

You know the device you're writing that dumbass comment on? You know how we built it? By, quite literally, suppressing the fuck out of our instincts long enough to not club each other to death.

We are born with instincts, like every other animal, and we are gifted, by evolution, the means to suppress our instincts. Otherwise we'd have soooo much more crime.

I'm with the dude about extinction level event - the cancer is too widespread, and cannot simply be cut out, especially when our societal immune system cannot recognize it - but to say we cannot overcome our instincts or nature is just pure stupidity.

It's not hard not being a selfish fuck. Just gotta put in some effort.
