    Every wild dog will chase and eat prey and their own poop, and attack any dog that challenges them or their pack.

    Every wild cat will chase and catch their prey, and then play with it while keeping it alive for a while until it ultimately dies.

    Humans are basically dogs or cats that have 1000’s of societal incentives not to chase and play with prey, drilled into most of us from the beginning, but everyone still has that innate ability that will come out under the right circumstances. If civilization ended today, who you think you are, and what you think you are not capable of today, ends today.

      U know what i used to think like that in some ways i still do but still gotta say there are and always will be some good people in the world maybe they are one in a billion but still they do exist . What shapes a human is their memories, thoughts , the people they know , the things they did etc. So its is impossible that everyone is the same while our primal urges maybe same, some of us still overcome that and can be different .

        Absolutely. And under the right circumstances, if you go through torture or war or societal collapse, a brain tumor pressing on your amygdala, or some undefinable trauma, you have all the power to do evil things.

        Humanity is a spectrum, but we’re all capable of great and of horrific things. No one is inherently ‘good’ or ‘bad’ is the point being made. People like to say “but I could never!” when reality is you could never [in your current state of mind, which is ever-changing].
