You're assuming way too much about my motives. I haven't even stated a conclusion. But from what I gather, you think our behavior is (almost?) fully formed from external forces. That's a valid take, but, I believe to be highly debatable, which I have no answer or conclusion for.

You're right, I got confused and assumed you were the guy arguing that it was against human nature. I apologize for the mistake and have edited my comment.

Behavior is learned, but as far as anyone can tell, if there's such a thing as "human nature" we seem to be wired very much in favor of empathy and cooperation with other humans, Matthew Lieberman has a book on the subject which I admittedly haven't read yet.
