here is why i know Humans are intrinsiy good

[leonie]

here is why i know Humans are intrinsiy good and not intrinsiy selfish and bad if we weren't intrinsiy good then all the people in the world who are good (and there are lots) and who sacrifice themselves for the good of others would never have made it via the evolutionary game it obvisously benefits us to have good people around. if it didn't, all of us would be selfish a-holes due to evolution and basic common sense about how a species continues. and not all of us are.

So, some of us are the human shields. got it. while the protected cells get the lives of luxury.

[godleski]

other species (dogs, dolphins, elephants) show signs of kindness too- not just humans

[srimat]

who said the didn't?

[moffet]

I was just adding on to what you said chill, dude

[Nana]

there's probably a difference between being good as a species and being successful as a species but i'm too tired to figure it out right now.

[moutray]

that doesn't mean intrinsicly good all that could mean is that we, as humans, understood along time ago, the good acts bring abt reciprocity, and that having the help of others and being viewed upon favorbaly in a social heiarchcy meant that one would have better chances at spreading his/her dna.

[eickmeyer]

yeah, lots of fake goodies out there aaaaaaannnnnd ... were back to talking about breast implants.

[dahnke]

babababoooyah!

[schwertner]

Maybe. But I honestly think we're just too close to the subject to truly gain an objective understanding of our own natures.

[dorgan]

i agree w. u bc u r agreeing with me

[althea]

I know you like that in a girl.

[diodato]

i have simple wants & needs

[jonell]

oh and i should restate that meant that doing good in turns helps ur status among the group, and that in turn might help you spread ur seed. but in any case, doing good meant good things in return.

I think our treatment of other living organisms, if not our own species, rules out that categorization.
