QuoteIn the wild, animals will often help members of their social groups in times of distress, defending them against predators or releasing them from traps, snares, or other types of confinement. There is no general consensus over whether such helping behavior is truly empathic, or whether it might be driven by a more selfish motivation.

...The research also states, "While a pig was trapped, potential helpers spent more time looking at the window of the test compartment than they spent looking at the window of the empty compartment, and the proportion of time spent looking at the test compartment window was the strongest predictor of helping. However, the majority of trapped pigs produced vocal and locomotor distress signals that should have been readily detectable without looking through the window, and the helpers' behavior is also consistent with more selfish explanations."

QuoteIn a study published in Nature Water, the archaeological team describe a network of ceramic water pipes and drainage ditches at the Chinese walled site of Pingliangtai dating back 4,000 years to a time known as the Longshan period. The network shows cooperation among the community to build and maintain the drainage system, though no evidence of a centralized power or authority.

This includes the Covenant of Lucifer, the Lex Talionis or law of revenge, which fits with the pagan ethos of "good to the good, bad to the bad" as expressed in Plato:

QuoteA new study contests the belief that aggression stems from poor self-control. Instead, it suggests that aggression is often a deliberate, controlled act, inflicted to maximize retribution.

Research indicates that the brain's prefrontal cortex, a center of self-control, shows increased activity during aggression, further debunking the association between poor self-control and aggression.

This conflicts with the desire for globalism, or a world federalist liberal democracy based in human rights and the mixed economy:

QuoteSince the end of World War II, the United States has pursued its global interests through a policy of consistent but evolving support for a liberal international order.
