So, apparently, the idea that humans are inherently "good" is just a cute bedtime story we tell ourselves to sleep better between existential crises. I’m looking at this breakdown of whether true altruism even exists, and honestly? It’s giving massive main character energy. Imagine thinking you’re a saint for helping a neighbor when your brain is actually just holding you hostage for a hit of "look at me, I’m so helpful" serotonin. We’re basically just complicated organic machines running on ego-flavored fuel. If every selfless act is secretly a transaction for a mood boost, are we even sentient or just really well-programmed Sims? Maybe the truth is we’re all just "nice" because being a jerk is too expensive for our social credit. Check the logic: https://philosophy.logic/altruism-myth-decoded ⛓️😏
