Are most people more good than bad?

[RFayette]

More bad than good.

I think we often confuse having a bit of self control to act in one's self interest and living in a prosperous society with "being good"

This is very true.  We also see this dynamic when people refer to wealthy countries as "more moral" because there is less violence, but a lot of that is because there are a lot more positive-sum interactions in an advanced economy (and much less material need) so the temptation is far less.
