This is an odd question, but has anyone noticed that we (humans) are getting nicer and nicer these days?
I mean, a thousand years ago, it was perfectly okay for kings to rape little girls, soldiers to massacre an entire city, and slavery was legal. Today we talk about charity, humanitarianism, and we even treat animals nice!
I can't really believe its evolution, because if that was the case, wouldn't we be seeking more efficient (rather than humane) solutions? Is there some kind of strange clock in our heads which make us nicer to each other by the minute?
