    That’s an unnervingly cold, reductionist, cynical take.

        “My” alternative is to not treat every human interaction as transactional maneuvering to curry favor. It’s an incredibly strange commodification of immaterial concepts that rejects or ignores the complexity and nuance of human emotions and motivations. It’s simply an inadequate theory.

          Well can you at least please tell me some examples of alternate motivations that governs our behavior?

            It’s hard to answer your request because, you see, your statement is like saying: “Everything is just atoms, so everything is basically the same”, it is “reductionist” of higher values, which even atheists have, but the statement itself cannot be denied, nor replaced with an alternative.

            Edit: I read your other replies, and you seem to not need this one, to ignore it.
