humanity's history of dishonesty is all the proof I need for that.
Also, history books and discussion is more about grand state actors and conquests, not the everyday kindness and selflessness. It's usually the norm, so not noteworthy to history.
Bullshit. What a weak argument. The entire goddamned point is that your fucking "kindness" is so ineffective it can't achieve anything.
But you wouldn't learn that from history books.
Yes you would - that's what history is - the record of human failure.
But they don't tell you much about human success where countries don't go to war and genocides don't happen. So you can't compare effectively.
You seem to be defining "success" as nothing happening which... is the opposite of how I'd define it.
"Success" is when you achieve gaining more power over an entity - whether that entity is a country, a business, or one's own life.
