We are bad

.
Mainstream science and mainstream religion long ago agree that we are by nature bad. 
.
That therefore, just as modern technology believes that we must control Nature.
.
We must control, regulate, improve upon, and yes, dominate ourselves in order that we may be good. 
.
Let us add to this agreement economics, which also holds as a central axiom that people are driven to maximize self-interest. 
.
If science, religion, and economics all agree.
.
The doctrine of innate badness must have deep roots indeed. 
.
It is no accident that it is orthodoxy in both the scientific and religious realms.
.
The ideology of our civilization—progress, ascent—depends on it. 
.
It is therefore built into many of our reflexive assumptions of what is true. 
.
And for this we pay a high price.

.

Psychologically we believe we must forever strive to be better.

.

We feel ourselves guilty if not doing something.

.

We accept this bullshit without question.

.

And yes it is bullshit.

.

No new born baby is guilty of anything.

.

There is no original sin.

.

Again and again mankind falls for the stories of men who manipulate teachings for power and control purposes.

.

In science we are not bad, nor is nature, maybe time though that science should look at itself.

.

Economists have got away with trying to monetize everything through the neat idea that humans always act in their own self interest.

.

Again bullshit.

.

Instinctive human behaviour is to help each other.

.

Humans are not bad.

.

Humans are born innocent and beautiful.

.

What humans do to other humans though is often bad.

.

Starting with the brainwashing that we are bad.
