Is your name Epson? Because you’re really good at projecting.

Your comment speaks droves about you, not humanity.

History contains abundant, well-documented cases of ordinary people participating in atrocities without coercion. Most people will act decently in low-pressure environments and will act badly under certain incentives, authority structures, or group dynamics. There is no way to know what a person's threshold is until it's tested, but it can be assumed that most people have a low threshold.

Parent was implying “all” humans crave this power over others. This is patently false.

“Most” people won’t act badly to attain this power, “some” will. Being placed into a position and choosing harm is not the same as pursuing it.

That is absolutely against the evidence, but yes people do like to think they are naturally righteous and good.

What evidence is there that ALL humans crave power over other humans?
