no offence, but read my post again and counter my arguments in a way I can give some serious consideration
I just did just did. Seems I need to clearer:
The philosophical base for my position: Egoism (psychological,rational and ethical)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egoism
Factual: Extensive study of history :
Perhaps begin with the Fertile Crescent, Egypt and the civilisation of the Indus Valley. Then move to to civilisation of the Inca,the Aztec and The Maya. Then to Europe from say the Renaissance to the C17th inclusive.All periods before the rise of capitalism.
Capitalism may indeed bring out and even encourage the worst in people , but it is no responsible for thsoe traits, they've always been there.
I don't accept your basic premise,which is nurture over nature.
If you have some alternative arguments,and observations please present them.If not,that's,fine.
