Existential Comics @existentialcomics.com · 04/05/2026If you put 50,000 chimps into a stadium together, they would rip each other apart. Humans will do "the wave" in the crowd without even being taught what it is first! 330025
Existential Comics @existentialcomics.com · 04/05/2026Human's natural inclination to cooperate is quite possibly the thing that stands out about our species the most! Anyone who says humans are "naturally" selfish is a moron, even discounting one of humanity's other standout trait: which is our ability to adapt to the social norms we are born into. 634651
Matatoes Lasagna @matatoeslasagna.bsky.social · 05/05/2026We cooperated our way to the top of the food chain. We cooperated the existence of cities and the built environment because ain't nobody wanna run 5 miles just to get dinner 020
bleddwgan🦑 @radekllundain.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Surely these things are the same trait? Humans reached a point of selection that survival could only happen via cooperation which means that being able to pick up any forms of social arrangements sort of becomes essential 090
Yerelda @yerelda.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Another closely related, definitively human trait is the tendency the provide care to others. Cavemen were fixing broken limbs and feeding the helplessly frail ten thousand years before any dickhead dreamed about property rights and land ownership 030
Wendell Albright @wendella.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I think we wouldn't need language if we didn't have the urge to cooperate 010
notayakk.bsky.social @notayakk.bsky.social · 11/05/2026We are naked. We walk long. We cooperate. We have a dexterous grip. We have complex language. We build tools. We domesticate. We gossip. We see well. We are born young. We throw well. We dance. We share. We bond. 000
