Sadly I think we are all fundamentally selfish. Some of us just hide it better than others.Much as I wish to avoid being too negative I don't think we have time to educate enough people, even young people. We don't learn very well and there are too many vested interests that are intent on upholding the status quo.
Education is great before the train gets to runaway status, after that you need brakes or obstacles, or in the case of humans, laws that get properly enforced.
I have never seen any evidence of the belief of some that we are fundamentally 'good' and intelligent enough to save out own skins, let alone any other creatures.![]()
