    I would make the argument that our species resorting to violent conflict over shareable resources is a pretty damning indictment of human nature.

    Tribalism exists, it’s a scientific fact. You can overcome the biases it imposes through cognitive effort, but at a baseline we are predisposed to hate anyone who we believe “doesn’t belong.” That’s not inherently evil, but it is asshole behavior.
