I think the urge to fit in socially is behind the insecurity based predatory fantasy marketing and eventual acquisition of most stuff.

Besides that we have an inclination to hunt and be stealthy which is a kind of being sneaky, and that adaptive sneakiness also can be warped into taking from others or from the community and getting away with it.

The term selfish is like the term vain. It wraps all sorts of behavior that may have socially difficult side effects, but some people really are just that, selfish and vain, and that's that.

Compassion can correlate with a lack of power and a certain type of selfishness. You should help others because life is good and it doesn't affect your power.



knowing this to be true, what is your recipe for achieving compassion?

before sailing ships and imperialism every 50 miles had a different culture.
some were fishers, some hunters, some gatherers,
some cultivators, some foragers, some had slaves,
some were slaves, some had mushrooms.
Some ate insects, some feared insects,
some domesticated cows and dogs, some tattooed their faces,
I couldn't list them all - but cultures were based upon local ecologies as much as on human biologies.
and then there was cross pollination of ideas and interbreeding.

and long after that there was imperialism, money...

anthropological proof of origins in culture is harder to verify than proof that Trump is an insurrectionist, and that is patently obvious except to the severely demented.
