Are Humans Naturally Good?

Is humanity naturally good, or have we clung to a romantic illusion about our primal state? In this deep dive, we unravel the myth of the noble savage—a concept that has twisted through philosophy, literature, and colonialism for centuries. From Montaigne’s portrayal of "Nature’s Gentleman" to Rousseau’s romanticized vision of humanity, and finally, to modern anarcho-primitivist ideals, we explore how the noble savage has been used to reflect human desires, guilt, and the darkest corners of human nature. Are you humans pure, or is it civilization itself that keeps you from descending into chaos? Watch as we challenge everything you think you know about your own nature.
