re: #655 Obdicut

That’s not what I said at all, though. I said people have a tendency towards it. I think it’s healthier to realize that that feeling is biologically driven, and that the world only makes sense when you force it to, that good things only happen through the hard work of human begins, and that the universe does not have a single shred of kindness to it aside from that that comes from us.

I don’t agree with the first part or the second part.

First, I think lots of good things exist without any human effort whatsoever. The entire planetary ecosystem is an example of such, IMO.

Second, I think attributing emotions only to humans is a very anthropocentric point of view. Those emotions evolved, they weren’t just put there. Nor are they unique to just the ape line or even mammal line. There are examples of sharing, cooperation, creativity, sacrifice, long term relationships, etc all throughout the animal kingdom.
