Yeah… people forget that ancient humans survived through cooperation long before states existed and the fights they did have were mostly just over territory and resources. Not some deep evil ‘‘human nature’’
Cooperation against other humans (and Neanderthals and such)
‘Humans are naturally greedy and instead of doing anything to try right this wrong, we should just be contempt being awful. Oh, and also ignore all historical evidence of the ways tribes would share resources communally.’
Or they’ve just met a reasonable number of a*holes…
If you only saw a bear in a circus, you would think its nature was to ride a unicycle.
It’s also intellectually dishonest to ignore examples of communal behavior, such as gift economies and communal farrming, as somehow not counting when we’re considering “human nature”. There are exceedingly many examples of selflessness even in this individualist hellhole we built for ourselves.
Nah - if I say that to you, I’m talking about you. But not directly as you cant take criticism
every accusation is a confession
The complete form of the sentence is the following:
Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta is a Latin phrase of medieval origin. Its literal translation is “Unsolicited excuse, manifest accusation” (or “He who excuses himself, accuses himself”).
The meaning of this phrase is: if one has nothing to justify themselves for, they should not apologize at all. Struggling to justify one’s own actions without being solicited can be considered as an indication that one has something to hide, even if the person is in fact innocent.
