Is there a human nature? Do humans exist in hierarchies and is it in our nature? Is capitalism indeed the best econonic system we got and are we at the end of history? Discuss.

Human nature is a flimsy ideal set up by the humanists who projected everything they thought was good into the Human. It is rife with contradictions (a serial killer is an inhuman human!) and has been used as a tool of exclusion for those we deemed inferior. Its worst offence is that it is a spook which robs us of our ownness.

Most humans strive for clear structures. Hierarchies provide clear structures. Therefore, most humans strive for hierarchies and will chose them.

>Is there a human nature?
Yes, though that doesn't mean we can't disobey the 'natural rules'.
>Do humans exist in hierarchies and is it in our nature?
You're asking others, not experiencing reality 'as is'; what do you think based on this alone?
>Is capitalism indeed the best econonic system we got and are we at the end of history?
No, but it is kosher.

yes, but in a very general sense
maybe, leaning on probably, considering hierarchies like parent over child
definite no

>is there a human nature
not only one, no
>do humans exist in hierarchies and is it in our nature?
hierarchies persist due to their logical simplicty, not humans' propensity towards them
>is capitalism indeed the best economic system we got?
capitalism itself has only been defined by critique, and knee-jerk responses to that critique. Any of the systems defined today as capitalist leave huge room for improvement, but it is likely that any iteration that would solve its problems would still be called "capitalism".
>are we at the end of history?
fukuyama was right, but nobody understands what that means.

Yes, and hierarchy is to have a priority list. You have drives, desires, preferred interrelations and interactions, risk analysis etc. etc.

No, the answer to this is that which most often is the case; it is a mixture of the two.
