I think the problem is it's written with a negative view of humanity while I would be what it describes as "benevolent" in my nature so my brain keeps butting in with "but I don't/wouldn't act that way"

Yeah I had to walk away and take a break. Did #PrisonerDilemma with son and husband. We all answered say nothing and risk the one year which according to the chapter on #SocialContractTheory is the ideal answer but the "wrong" answer because people wouldn't choose it.
All I can think is social contract theory is an excuse to see the worst in humanity and comes from the lord of the flies style belief that without s rich middle aged white man to tell us what to do society will crumble.
