I'm willing to change my opinion if you have an argument that beats me. however you don't. You just disagreed with everything I said in a snide manner. I will never admit that people don't have a vicious nature because people are mean and I have lots of experience with this.
Your admission defeats your own argument. The knowledge that humanity is ignorant and stupid would require a smart and informed mind to make that conclusion. Therefore, if you are ignorant and stupid then your conclusions regarding humanity's ignorance and stupidity are unreliable. On the other hand, if the only reason you are admitting to your own ignorance and stupidity due to your presumption that humanity is ignorant and stupid, then you are - at once - begging the question and stealing the concept.
Your next statement further defeats your argument. Having accepted that you are ignorant and stupid, the logical conclusion is that all your conclusions can be called into questions and be wrong - essentially, what you are asking of everyone in the first post. And yet, here you are unwilling to do the same about your own conclusions regarding human nature.
