I mean... Humans ARE assholes. Some are cute beyond imagination, while some are just... horrible.

It's okay to say, "I wish the best for my friends and family over the entirety of humanity". It's the winning strategy of game theory plain and simple, isn't?

"Start by being nice and cooperative. If faced by defection from the other side, do not cooperate until the other side cooperates again".

The simplest example would be sharing a house as housemates. Some humans are assholes who you'd never want to share space with. Some, you'd desperately want as housemates.
