I mean yes to a very certain limited degree there is such a thing as 'human nature', but it's very heavily overplayed.
We're constantly told that human nature is the reason various leftist ideas don't work, yet the more I think about the blackpill and how it relates to society, the more I can't help but question this.
Consider for instance what religion is. Not being sexual isn't so-called 'human nature', yet until recently society was able to regulate it by shaming people who were too sexually active. And it worked, despite sexual desire being so-called 'human nature'. If you can socially condition people to not have sex despite it being a inborn desire, why can't you condition people into not being as selfish?
Makes you think doesn't it?
