I personally don't think it is human nature but the only the "nature" that we become because we are taught that to dumb ourselves is the best recourse for coping. And to be numbed by the system of education which would rather have kids drugged and in a stupor that be vibrant and learning at their own rate. We are taught not to feel or react or stand up for ourselves by some cultural phenomenon that we end to eradicate - it we could only find the source...we are being deprived of our humanity by being taught we are only stimulus response animals without self determinism. I don't think it is really us but its effects are real if we look around.
