@SpecificSpecifick That's why you subscribed to Sal's channel. I don't know why you enjoy being stupid, but you need a hobby bro.

Do we have empirical data that backs up this therom?

Besides the fact that you're an ignorant cocksucker talking shit about somebody you don't know, eat my ass, you fucking troll.

[MrRi3m4nn]

@fertilizerspike Besides the fact that you probably have a deluded view of yourself, I just wanted to point out the blatantly obvious fact that one sample doesn't equal a trend.

aviour that's learned, not inborn.

I don't have this "tendency" you mention, which kind of moots your whole point. It's yet another aspect of human beh

[MrRi3m4nn]

@fertilizerspike I was saying that it evolved as such because of the tendency of people to put their own needs or desires before those of others. I don't think this is an unreasonable proposition. You're focusing on irrelevant details, and this is becoming pointless. I probably won't respond again.

@MrRi3m4nn

How can it be a secret if I just told the entire world about it. And I'm not the only one. Also, if you're saying this system we have somehow "evolved" out of human nature, you can't then say that this "statistical tendency of behaviour", which is largely if not wholly contrived and determined by the system in which we live, is responsible for the system producing it. You're trying to put the cart before the horse.

[MrRi3m4nn]

@fertilizerspike You claimed that a group of people worked together for a secret and sinister purpose, which is practically the definition of a conspiracy. Also, I meant human nature as the statistical tendency of behavior, whether or not this is learned is irrelevant to the point.

@MrRi3m4nn

Wow, you don't seem capable of uttering statements that I don't disagree with. First, I never once said anything about any "conspiracy". You're apparently a coincidence theorist. Not everything is a coincidence, sometimes people actually plan things, you know. As for "human nature", there is no such thing as human nature, only human behaviour, and it's all learned.
