Alexander and I discuss if we as humans are inherently selfish and if so, what are some of the ways that we can start reprogramming ourselves.

Topics:

Selfishness exists within each of us.

Selfish behavior stems from fear and the need to control.

We do have a biological proclivity to protect those closest to us.

Religion stresses the need for humanity to make personal sacrifices.

Incremental altruism.

Vast income and wealth inequality creates greater instability...even for the rich.

Who are the truly deserving?

Fairness and justice should be our highest ideals.
