The science of selfishness: Humans aren’t actually hard-wired to be jerks
A new study suggests that our default setting is intuitively selfless—but given time, we talk ourselves out of it
“Turns out, research suggests very few of us are naturally selfish.
A new analysis on Nautilus reports humans are instinctively pretty selfless creatures. Decisions made on impulse tend to err on the side of selflessness and collective social gain for a group of people; it’s when we have time to mull things over that selfish decisions are made. Basically, the more we over think something, the more self-serving we behave.”
