In this solo episode, I delve into the complex question of human nature, exploring whether it is inherently good or evil. I discuss various philosophical perspectives, including those of Freud, Rogers, Hobbes, and Rousseau, highlighting the capacity for both good and evil within all individuals. Ultimately, I advocate for a more optimistic view of human nature, suggesting that embracing our capacity for good can lead to positive change in the world.
