people are basically good, but we in general are basically selfish

3. i have rarely been disappointed when meeting other du'ers.

makes me sad that we dont have meetups any more. they were always a great time. except when trolls showed up.

i think you put your finger on a basic human internal conflict. it is kinda glorious that we even evolved w altruism as a part of our basic make up. but it is a risky strategy, only made possible by our deep bonds of family, tribe, community.
strengthen them, and you strengthen the human family entire.
never miss an opportunity to spread that strength.
