Read Humankind by Rutger Bregman and you’ll be amazed that evidence points to our default settings being better than you think. Then nurture those default instincts, they are the true you.

I don’t trust that guy. Heard him speak one time and I couldn’t believe people weren’t getting up and leaving

Really? Interesting. I just finished the book last night and the evidence he presented was very compelling and a much more hopeful framing of human behaviour than other similar work.

I am willing to give him another shot 😆

Maybe it was just one subject I didn’t agree with … we’ll see.

Fair enough. I think from purely deconstructing misleading sociological/ psychological/ news narratives about how people naturally behave it is worth a read.

Don't! A waste of time. Over generalizing is his thing. another Hero trown to the plebs that can explain the pain of the tension fields in a nice round story.... Blabla blabla

😆

Fair enough. I didn’t get than vibe from reading the book, each to their own though!

If I can ask, what was it he was talking about that you didn’t like? If you remember?

I don’t remember. Was a while ago
