"good" is not a state of being -- it's not something that anyone "is". it's a process of doing "good" things and trying to be better.

No. At best, most people are somewhere around neutral.

humans being inherently selfish is an absolutely bullshit thing people tell themselves as an excuse to be shitty

I'm pretty fucking cynical myself much of the time too

now the people who have the power? Bunch of motherfuckers

It's not human nature to be selfish,capitalism is the problem.
Society shapes people. The problems are not personal but structural

I think most people are neutral and just want to be left alone to live their lives in peace without stepping on others toes. Neutral isn't exactly good, because most things inspire apathy until they're directly effected. It isn't bad either though, just stupid and stagnating in the grand scheme of things.

So no, but actively bad and malicious people are overall in the minority.

I believe that the majority of people, even if it's a slight majority, have good intentions. Hanlon's razor is evident at every scale.

Yeah, this is my belief too. Then their actions depend on the situations they find themselves in and the other players.

It might not be true, but I feel like most people would pocket a $100 bill on the floor of a grocery store rather than taking it to customer service or something.

That is not a very good indicator of a good or bad person.

The point is that most people will tend toward minor selfishness or self-preservation. Most people aren't thinking "Hey, maybe this money belongs to a senior and it's the last of their monthly pension and they'll be hooped without it." They just see money on the ground and their eyes light up and they quickly pocket it and make sure no one is looking when they do.

Of course, the average person isn't going around maiming others or whatever lol. Most situations aren't black or white either, it really just depends on a lot of different things.

There was a relatively small-scale experiment similar to this. Cash taped to a public property tree. Let me see if I can find it.
