  • This abandonment of principles is a fascinating aspect of human nature.

    It’s well documented that we reduce our empathy and altruism when we’re under stress.

    Some fraction of people won’t pay any cost to keep their ethical first principles.

    Some fraction have deeper wiring to either conform to an in group or to follow a strongman or strong hierarchy.

    We are doomed if we can’t find a way to bioengineer our way out of this, considering we already have nuclear weapons.
