No..Ivan...but that one is, and explicitly so. We can disagree on whatever you like, all we're talking about now is translation, though. We both have opinions on human nature, we both think it's strongly predictive. We appear to disagree on it's contents, and on what those contents mean for a moral appraisal of humanity.....not it's existence.
You don't get to dictate meaning of my comments and I state clearly that one you mention wasn't about human nature. I don't think that human nature is predictive as it is merely buzzword that can be tacked on everywhere but with zero explanatory power. Politicians are corrupt - human nature, priests fuck little kids - human nature, people vote fascists - human nature. This crap seemingly fit everywhere yet explain nothing serving only to discourage attempts at providing real answer.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
