  • Interesting take. But there is some truth to the notion of ‘human nature’. Humans do act certain ways; we retract from pain, we attempt to solve problems and communicate.

    Yes but these are psychological behaviours of humans. Psychology as it is name suggest psycho-logia is a scientific branch. One must speak about that “human nature” if they have scientific data. And instantly that would not be human nature at all because scientific researches have titles like “the change of bird population in cyprus in tha last 50 years” and not “bird nature”\

    Whether it is ‘human nature’ that dictatorship power corrupts people can only be inferred by the examples we have seen. If you can show that a dictatorship didn’t lead to abuse of power in some significant number of cases, then it would be proven false.\

    It is a generalization not a fact. You cant build up your argument on a generalization and say that it is “human nature”. As if humans have evolved by a scientifically approved fact that to do that. While i agree on power corrupts i have awareness of that "if we give one person all the power the probability of it will ruin them is very high. Very bold of someone to label something as “natural”.

    I am okay with going “statics show that humans are tend to do xyz” I am not okay just saying “human nature”







  • Your opinion does not matter, I am not saying this because you are invalid. I am saying this because this is not the thing i wanna talk with you.

    “human nature” these two words mean nothing and even more than being meaningless these two words are harmful. What human nature? Are there any scientific proofs that something is “human nature”. It has no logic behind yet it is accepted by you and excepted to accept by the reader.

    There is no such thing as human nature. Human nature is when you have two hands. Human nature is not when “if someone gains power the power corrupts the powerholder.” there is a chance that it may not occour. It is not certain. the situation of that “human nature” is not very specified. thats why it has no meaning behind it.

    The second i wanna point is that the “human nature” is always used against communism. Communism is not well with human nature. okay, sure. What about capitalism. you are either capitalist or communist. You want either private property exist or not. capitalism harms people so it is not very well with human nature either. Power also corrupts in capitalism. Elon Musk is the dictionary defination of power corrupts.

    If power corrupts then under capitalism it also is power corrupts if human nature is not well with communism same goes with capitalism.

    It is not just you that say this human nature. It is nothing personal. I really do hate that fallacy.
