hmm.
i do not think human beings have very much in the way of innate tendencies...aversion to pain, very basic biofunctions--everything else develops in/through interaction with the social context (family, bigger world) that one is thrown into. more like piaget outlines than traditional philosophy.
i would think the tendency to avoid responsibility it situational. earlier in the summer, i read zygmunt bauman's book "the holocaust and modernity" which has alot to say about the interaction between bureaucratic organization, the avoidance of responsibility through categories like "duty" and the holocaust as one outcome. it is interesting. it is also too complex a book to cram into a bulletin board sized blurb/summary. check it out, if you've some time.
when you wrote in the opening post about corporate subjectivity, i thought you meant something about the legal definition of a corporation as person. which i have always thought deeply bizarre...and that you wre trying to link corporate personhood to notions of the individual subject as defined either by bourgeois law or by traditional western philosophy. but i coucldnt figure out what this question--which i find kinda interesting--had to do with the rest of the post. whence my confusion.
as for questions involving jesus, they are not high on my personal hit parade.
