We are biologically predisposed to selfishness. You can frame this with political colors that ostensibly represent “thoughtful and empathetic” versus “thoughtless and ‘fuck you, I’ve got mine’”, but it’s not entirely clear that either side isn’t inherently motivated by selfishness. And that’s our ultimate failing, predictor of our demise.
Regarding diversity trends, I agree. Thank you for reminding me how it was. I do worry though: is counter-culture as popular culture counterproductive? Could that be by design?
