No man these are facts. Proven, hard irrefutable facts.
Lmao no they're not. Humans are a communal species, it's literally what we've evolved to be.
However acting as if behavioral (or even worse evolutionary) psychology can in any way give a definite answer on what is human nature and what is learnt behaviour, is ridiculous.
There are no factual answers to the question "what is human nature?"
If you look at human history, every civilization has eventually pretty much done the same thing just at different scales.
At some point humans do in general attain that trait, in larger societies.
Keep the group small, it'll eventually grow larger. It literally all happened throughout human history, there are physical artifacts across the globe, all before globalization and communication technologies, and they all generally did the same thing. Or they were one of your "communal" societies that no longer exist because..
Lmao post your academic sources instead of vague gesturing towards human History
I'm being vague because these are common facts. I'm not about to go spend half my Saturday sourcing this for you, to win some kind of online argument lol its nice and sunny outside and I'm planting trees all day and imbibing with you kids on here on my breaks.
Yeah because my time is valuable lol should I need to find a source that proves the sky is blue? Seriously none of this is new or contested, aside from you and your group on here. Y'all need to get educated on history, it's actually really interesting and fun to read up on in your spare time.
You're being vague because you are wrong.

Just because you're a terrible person doesn't mean everyone else is.
I have no idea what you're trying to say here
Like a Christian deep in the closet talking about how gay people just need to suppress the natural urge all men feel to engage in gay sex, you believe that your internal experiences are universally shared across humanity. Because you are a selfish, deeply evil person, you refuse to believe that there is actually any such thing as a good person at all. You feel smugly superior to the rest of us who refuse to admit we're all evil, without realizing that not everyone thinks like you.
Well I didn't say anything close to what you opened up with. I think you're angry and projecting.
I am none of what you say I am, you simply assume I am because I say things that go against your narrative.
I may seem smug to you because I can easily reject your claims and don't feel the need to prove myself to you. But I'm not, you just seem lost and honestly a little delusional.
I hope you find what you're looking for in life.
