Not "humans are inherently good" or "humans are inherently evil" but a secret third thing (humans are inherently social animals which means that we're very good at cooperating and being compassionate towards those we perceive as being part of our community but we're also very good at being tribal and violent towards those we perceive as threats to our community and everyone defines their community differently)

Yeah okay Ill reblog that!

Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.

The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.

L David Mech is one of the classic examples. Dude observed wolves in captivity and came up with Alpha Theory with a couple other people. He unintentionally created the Alpha/Sigma Male subculture. He has been actively trying to reverse the social effects of his 1970s works for a looooong time.
