Human nature is selfless.

Label: selfish and selfless creatures in human nature

Man is the most advanced natural system discovered so far. This system has many strange functions, such as thinking, manufacturing, scientific research and so on. Of course, human beings also have the same characteristics as other biological systems, such as basically constant body temperature, stable weight, basically stable physical strength and so on. It is said that man is the most advanced system because his constancy is not general, and his system is constant, so he has the ability to think and learn. This is the result that human beings have remained unchanged since ancient evolution. If it is chaos, it is impossible to evolve such an excellent ability.

According to the second law of thermodynamics, if a system like human wants to maintain its own constancy and keep its internal very efficient and specific capabilities, it must provide a steady stream of energy from the outside, and it also needs other environments conducive to the stability of the system. This is required by the characteristics of the system itself. Otherwise, the system will gradually become chaotic, that is, die out.

Therefore, modern science has proved that people must draw material energy for themselves to survive normally, saying that materiality is actually the most primitive, and people's high biological specificity and high civilization make people have higher requirements, such as intangible but objective needs such as love, care, understanding and knowledge. Therefore, the most fundamental feature of people is to maintain the operation of their own systems, which is called selfishness.

Some people just insist that human nature is not selfish, because people are still social. People sometimes sacrifice their personal interests for society, and even make constant efforts to maintain a good social environment. So how do you view the relationship between the efforts made by man-made society and selfish nature?

In fact, it is not contradictory. Let's start with the example of animals. We see that elephants will take care of the young of other individuals, and bison will fight with lions to protect other individuals from infringement. So why are animals so "selfless"? In fact, I just need to ask the next question, and it will soon be clear: will elephants or bison selflessly give themselves to lions? This is the fundamental problem!

No matter how selfless an animal is, it is also based on not being eaten by itself. At the same time, animals have established a mutual aid system to protect themselves from being eaten by lions when everyone, old and young, is injured and exhausted. This is the fundamental reason why all animals form groups. These groups must be beneficial to themselves, otherwise they will never form a group.

Man is the most advanced animal, so the secret is revealed in one sentence: everyone is for me and I am for everyone. People's selflessness is actually a kind of saving or compensation. It is a kind of * * * economic mechanism. The most basic starting point is for yourself. Of course, this is for your own motivation, which can be traced back to the era of animal grazing. Because it has been too long, many people have no explanation for this motive in their memory, and believe in a relatively perfect social mechanism, so human nature is selfless, which is antimatter and anti-system. Or did not reveal the real problem.

In fact, today, human beings have developed a wider range of "selflessness", such as respecting nature, protecting the environment, caring for trees and grass, caring for animals and animal protection laws. However, you can think about it. Who do people protect animals for? Why do people care about every grass and tree? Is the starting point for animals or for human beings?

We can explain people's sociality in this way: after the social characteristics of helping each other in the same boat are fully developed, we may not see its true colors, but its nature of benefiting all individuals is an extension of each individual's selfish nature, which can also be called the selfish characteristics of the whole biological species.

You can also ask, if human nature is not selfish, why do you put forward various slogans that are beneficial to everyone? Like serving the people? Why should we protect the interests of the people? Why do people have to give way to each other? Isn't this insulting each other? In fact, it is not an insult. The slogan of serving the people is correct, because people will appreciate it and be happy. If human nature is really selfless, then these slogans and practices will become problems and may become an infinite loop of logic. For example, I won't give anyone anything, because it goes against the nature of the other person, and the other person will feel very uncomfortable. In order to maintain the balance of my living environment, I must bear the burden of humiliation and enjoy everything by myself. Over time, I can say that human nature is selfish, hehe. Because you see, everyone has a good time and never gives in.

Only when human nature is selfish can "selflessness" become a slogan to please the people. Otherwise, if everyone's nature is selfless, who dares to say "serving the people" and "fighting for the interests of the people"? That doesn't offend everyone? At that time, the most lovable slogan in society must be "Every man for himself" and "Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost".
