The way I see it that instinct is the cause behind so much suffering and injustice in the world.

Yes. Reductive in a crude way, not clarifying. I don’t think the parent comment at all implied humans are inherently bad and the occasional good doesn’t matter.

Rather inversely, humans are tribalistic but achieve good in spite of tribalism.
