Most people are basically good, the rest are cunts and psychopaths. I'd say it's about an 80/20 split.

Of today I've spent 100% being "good" as in not doing "evil"
Same thing yesterday
And the day before that
In fact of all my life the times I've acted "evil" wouldn't really even amount to .001%

Everybody desires to be good, but different people have different ideas about what good is. To some it may be protecting their property and their family, to others it might be serving humanity in some way. Humanity innately is bad, but that is only because we pursue desire and our own happiness. We are bad, but we desire good.

Good as in behaving according to social norms? Then yes.

Man is generally an individual.

Do you have to teach children to lie, cheat, and steal? Do you have to teach children to hit other children to get what they want? Do you have to teach children how to be selfish?

No?

Then evil.

Yes, by your post.

If you do not have to teach your children to be evil, they started out evil.

Man is generally conditioned. It matters not if it's by birth, as what makes us doesn't begin with our birth. Nor does it matter if you happen to be born into what is pleasing or healthy, as chains of gold are still chains.

Man is neutral like his animal kin, and all that makes him evil is himself or others saying his actions are evil.

Well, would you say that had nothing to do with their past experiences? Because I'd say that children generally experiment with attaining rewards and children with these habits were probably just never adequately punished for them. Children do what they learn is the most rewarding.

Man is generally self interested.
If being a good person helps them breed then that's what they'll do.

There are no good guys or bad guys, its us versus those who strive for power.

>>3376419
Man is good. It is earth and nature that is evil. We are good beings in an evil world and it rubs off on us quite a bit.
