> Individually, people prefer be kind and compassionate, prefer to help when they find another in trouble.

What are you basing that claim on?

How do you know it's an actual preference and not mainly caused by external factors (e.g. not wanting to be seen doing unkind things, wanting to be seen as upstanding)?

I don't want to do the "check his hard drives" thing, but is that you? Do you only not do things because you don't want to be seen doing "unkind things"?
