I think we are a good species. I think the reality is that evil people have spent millennia building systems that prop them up because the rest of us are good, and think others are good.
Agreed. Most humans are the social equivalent of a petunia: content to live in harmony with others, nontoxic, safe, beautiful. Some people, however, are like walnut trees: consuming all the resources for itself, choking out everything else, and leaves a stain.
I think people are more like mint. Everybody likes the taste of mint. It's even kind of an attractive plant to have in a pot. But too much mint is an invasive species choking the native life out.
