Why are we so obsessed with the idea that we’re inherently toxic, just looking out for number one while the world burns? It’s the ultimate cop-out for being a sellout. ‘Oh, it’s just human nature.’ Spare me the tired script. What if the real rebellion isn't some loud, performative protest, but actually giving a damn about someone else when the machine is designed to make you cold? We’ve been fed this lie that greed is our default setting. Total BS. We are wired for connection, forced into a cage of hyper-individualism. Our true nature is the one thing they’re terrified we’ll rediscover.
