I have no hole into which you can pigeon me. I’m unique. Just like everyone else.
I’m equal parts seven, seventeen, and seventy, and have been since elementary school. I’ve got the open ended curiosity of a seven year old, the suicidal bravery of a seventeen year old, and the wisdom of an old man.
I am equal parts George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter Thompson, and Charles Bukowski.

Fuck that, I do not concede the point. At least, I don’t concede that humans are /more/ selfish than we are compassionate. Our emotional wiring evolved for hundred-human tribes that required a lot more empathy and cooperation than competition.
You don’t have to go so far as to disincentivize greed. Greed is socially useful in small doses. Adam Smith wasn’t a total idiot. Just stop letting the people who shape society make it so only the greedheads survive.
