    “Human nature” is a reductive term used to describe a set of complex behaviors that no one fully understands.

    Oonga boonga brain says “survive” in majority circumstances ¯\(ツ)

    If you’re starving and have a melon in front of you, brain probably says find a way to open and eat it.

    If you’re starving, have a melon, and a person with better survival skills nearby, you’re probably going to want to befriend them.

    To try to determine/posit the individual moral “nature” of a social species is silly. (◕‿◕✿)
