Distinguishing tenet of the selfish is their belief that reality can be easily managed - and thus easily managed by themselves alone

Scientists who tend towards Natural Philosophy have an undying faith that an (as yet invisible) simplicity lies just below reality's highly visible surface complexity.

Natural History oriented scientists (such as Martin Henry Dawson) don't believe reality is at all simple or can be easily managed at all - let alone easily managed by small groups alone acting alone.

Rather it can, at best , be survived , and that by humanity working together.

The Natural Historians point to past events as proof - events like unexpected bad weather leading to a famine in one small part of a large region.

Trying to manage the famine alone leads to many more deaths than if that affected area welcomed food aid from another part of the region, a part unaffected by famine this year.

Next year, when last year's lucky nation have a famine and last year's famine nation doesn't ,  it would be moral and wise to return the good turn by sending the afflicted some food aid.

Working together , caring for each other together, bring both nations through the tough uncertainty of reality....
