Fallout 4 is a better game than New Vegas.

Selfishness is coded into us by evolution. It's genetic. Lots of people will agree with me on this.

What I get a lot of pushback on, is that selflessness is the same. It has evolutionary benefits for a familial group, and so gets selected for.

Selfishness may have been selected for tens of millions of years ago in our evolution, but as pre-humans became social animals it's clear that selfless or other-centric thinking became strongly selected for as well. You otherwise couldn't have a species that's almost entirely other-dependent, throughout the whole life but especially for the first 10-15 years of it.

Humans can't sustainably exist outside of a society.

Worker Cooperatives are better than traditional corporations or state owned firms.

Zelda II: The Adventures of Link is a better game than most people give it credit for, and it deserves a remake.
