There are things about humans that are beautiful. There are things that are nasty.
There are things we can change. There are things we need to acknowledge.
You can rename aspects of human nature. Those aspects will still work the same way with a new name.
You can say those aspects are not scientific. That they are social. Those aspects will still work the same.
Tribalism. racism, jingoism, patriotism, nationalism, ethnocentrism,
The other
The Us vs. Them.
It is human nature. And it is nasty. Destructive. But it is our nature. When we wish to change it. It changes names and works the same way with a different name.
