This was a really interesting
question to research,

was that philosophers from
way, way back in the day

did believe that we were
born inherently bad.

They used to state that
we were born as infants

and the only way that we
could be reborn to be good

most of these philosophers
were Christian philosophers.

Even now, in TV, think Survivor and Ozark,

that constantly puts to
the test what we wanna do.

Is it all about us and
our own personal gain?

for the community or the group as a whole?

but just like everything
on TV that we see,

what we've seen in those
shows and those movies,

isn't necessarily true as
to how we would really act.

Luckily, we don't have
to rely on television,

nobody relies on
television, let's be honest,

but even what philosophers
used to say back in the day,

we don't have to rely on
any of that information

because we have modern-day
research that shows us,

do people on their instinct
act out in a selfish way,

that were conducted by a
variety of researchers,

a very diverse group of
people from Harvard and Yale

are completely wrong
when it comes to this,

to think about the
community versus themselves,

no matter what we did
to try to change that,

proving that we as humans
are inherently good.

don't take into consideration sociopaths.

I know a lot of people in
the comments are gonna say,

But the three to five
percent of the population

is not what we're talking about right now.

What we're talking about
is the majority of people.

was anywhere from 850
people to 1200 people

and they were from a
variety of walks of life

as broad and diverse of
a group as they could,

to showcase what people overall would do.

And if you want more information
about what a sociopath is,

or what I'm even talking
about when I use that term,

I'll link to my video on
that in the description.

The thing I found the most
interesting about the study

was that when people were asked
to make a decision quickly,

whether they would do
something to better themselves

or they'd do something
to better the group,

when they were not given
much time to think about it,

almost 100% of the time
they chose the group.

When they were given a
long time to contemplate

and to pro and con, and weigh and measure,

that's when we saw a
rise in the selfish act.

before you start thinking
that's a bad statistic

what that really means
is that our instinct,
