In other words the second purpose for this thread is to discuss how do we get people that some of you sneer at (“ liberals”, ”centrists”, etc), to think more like you do. How did I come to think more like you do?

Kurzgesagt on youtube argues that that ideas are good and humans generate ideas and therefore humans are good. It elaborates that when humans are stuck in survival situations most of their ideas tend to be about basic needs - which isn't useful to us because those problems are largely solved in modern society. So if you want to gain the most benefit from the most people it's to your advantage to pull them out of poverty.
