    Your words make no sense to me. If you want to convey ideas use the common tongue. It feels like you have some neat ideas though.

    Edit: Can anyone please decipher what this guy said?

      people share goods and culture naturally. the prevailing historical models are cooperative. anticooperative, competitive societies are rare.

          If you wanna talk psychology, the ultracompetitive demands of modern capitalism have to be drilled into each of us from birth, and most of us resist it all the same. Mark Fisher elaborates on this in Capitalist Realism, this learned behavior is in large part responsible for the mental health crisis in the world.

            You’re assuming way too much about my motives. I haven’t even stated a conclusion. But from what I gather, you think our behavior is (almost?) fully formed from external forces. That’s a valid take, but, I believe to be highly debatable, which I have no answer or conclusion for.

              You’re right, I got confused and assumed you were the guy arguing that it was against human nature. I apologize for the mistake and have edited my comment.

              Behavior is learned, but as far as anyone can tell, if there’s such a thing as “human nature” we seem to be wired very much in favor of empathy and cooperation with other humans, Matthew Lieberman has a book on the subject which I admittedly haven’t read yet.
