Ah, I see. So she got on your nerves, and you decided to argue against her for...no other real reason?

Wow, I see you just have an overall tendency to jump to conclusions, don't you? It's not a matter öf nerves--if I see someone lying, spreading misinformation, relying on generalizations, relying on cliches, or using faulty logic, I try to call them on it.


No because I've never heard of any such studies. Do you always mock unintentional ignorance? (Thanks for the link, though.)


If you somehow thought that here had never been any psychological studies done on greed, that's even worse. That would mean you were knowingly spreading information that you believed had no existing evidence to support it.

I'm not sure if general observations about biology and evolution would count to you, but actually hoarding resources is pretty beneficial to one's survival.

There are a variety of survival behaviors that have their individual benefits, risks, and downsides. Evolutionary biology is complex, and whipping out some simple generalization isn't particularly useful. If you don't have an in-depth knowledge, leave it alone, instead of trotting out some overly simplified generalization like they teach in K-12.

I never heard of any studies specifically supporting the idea that greed is socialized. Happy?

The generalization that hoarding resources improves survival + anecdotal evidence of greed existing in pretty much every society in human history is what I was going for. Of course there are a variety of traits that are helpful to human survival; you could make the argument that compassion/empathy developed the same way. Those are not mutually exclusive.
