“many of us have been convinced that we carry the darkness within us, in our selfish genes. “It is simply human nature,â€� we’re told, “to rape and kill and enslave—and anyone who thinks otherwise is a foolish romantic.â€� This messaging not only offends our decency and dignity, it insults our intelligence. The depiction of human nature embedded in the NPP isn’t science; it’s a marketing campaign for the status quo.”

“The rats that were trapped alone in cages opted to get high as much as possible, but the rats with interesting lives (community, space, toys) tried the drugged water once or twice, and then stayed away from it. The rats with lives worth living had little interest in the escapism the drugs offered. Overall, they consumed less than a quarter of the drugged water the isolated rats did. None overdosed or ignored food until they starved.”
