The bad news on human nature, in 10 findings from psychology

How about: We publish flawed studies with poor reproducibility.

I'd like to see how reproducible the studies cited here are before drawing any dire conclusions about humanity.

What a dumb article. The fact is that human beings can be good or bad, rational or irrational. That being the case, what we need to understand is what makes the difference, so we can make efforts to maximize the good behavior and minimize the bad. I don't see how anyone can disagree with that.

However bad the quality of the experiments, the truth is probably worse than they suggest -- in some cases.

It is also true that violent crime is on a long-term decline, and there are people everywhere looking for a way to make things better. Provide such a way and people will flock to it.
