    Yes, you do. We all have the potential for the most horrific acts of evil you can imagine in the right circumstances. That’s why we usually have such a hard time when we give people power to rule over others and need a convoluted system of checks and balances to make sure nobody becomes a dick. Yet it still happens. Benevolence is not the default human state. You have to work to stay that way. That ability separates us from the brutal world of the wild.

        Everyone is not that different: after all, we all are the same biological species: homo sapiens

            Every wild dog will chase and eat prey and their own poop, and attack any dog that challenges them or their pack.

            Every wild cat will chase and catch their prey, and then play with it while keeping it alive for a while until it ultimately dies.

            Humans are basically dogs or cats that have 1000’s of societal incentives not to chase and play with prey, drilled into most of us from the beginning, but everyone still has that innate ability that will come out under the right circumstances. If civilization ended today, who you think you are, and what you think you are not capable of today, ends today.
