Interesting talk. The fourth theme "innate basic goodness" sounds very positive and pleasing, but I wonder how credible it is. Their conclusion is based on the findings of one experiment (or there was more and I missed it). If humans have this "innate basic goodness" inside them, maybe there also exists "innate basic badness". And a person is good or bad depending on which seeds he/she has been nurturing more.

This talk is bit old, but Willoughby has a bit on "innate basic badness" as you put it. And, Stanford Medical School seems to be doing something on these stuffs - http://ccare.stanford.edu

I found the second talk more motivational. "We can become the people that we admire", a very hopeful message indeed.
