I disagree, although many would agree with the misanthropes that pathological self preservation may indeed be a very human problem, it however does not necessarily result in homelessness, murder or chaos, but it is certainly not suited yet to our complex systems of society that we have built ourselves today.
Recognizing where we, or humanity, has not taken maximum benefit or advantage of its child constructions and have in fact maladaptive behaviours is key to recognising where there is a disharmony. Some would prefer to attack the system rather than human nature itself. However this may be a reflection of anthro-philism.
