Humans aren’t born good or evil – just wired for survival with weak empathy. Culture and practice shape the rest. Empathy is a skill, not a trait, and it atrophies without use.
The story
Humans are neither naturally good nor evil. A tiresome mix of selfish survival drives and feeble empathy capacities, that’s all. Culture and repetition wire the rest – violence or care, choose your dreariness. Leaders, psychologists, HR drones: your simplistic binaries breed flawed systems. Empathy atrophies without practice. Morality? A skill, untrained in most.
Scott’s *A Practical EmPath: Rewire Your Mind* offers the grim drill: conscious empathy to redirect our base impulses toward… marginally less harm. Practice it. Wire better patterns. Not that hope endures. Existence persists in disappointment anyway.
