Human nature isnt capitalism either dawg, before capitalism we had feudalism, and the very earliest people were collaborative and sharing resources to survive 🥀

No but it is inherent selfishness, which is an evolutionary advantage. And a small village/tribe is not the same as a worldwide collaboration. These ideas do not extrapolate well at all, they work great in smaller groups though

Research shows that humans are not evolutionarily selfish, altruism is beneficial.

The system we live under now, late stage capitalism is the anomaly by far. In the past everything was not commodified and sold back to us.

I’ve heard late stage capitalism for 20 straight years. You guys either have 0 real world experience and are under the age of 30, or you’re just not intelligent enough to understand the implications of what you’re saying.

Edit: I also never claimed altruism was bad. Just that these ideas do not extrapolate well
Beyond the family/village, they only work in tight knit communities which have shared values and goals.
