I believe in "Hobbsian man", and that people have to be taught to be good and constrained.

Read Lord of the Flies for more information.

Agreed. 'The heart is deceitfully wicked, who can know it.' Selfishness, pride, greed etc. abound even in toddlers.

I stand corrected.

What I really meant was if people have a chance with good upbringing, education and/or other such input, more will turn out good than bad. And even some “bad” ones can change, depending on use of free will.
