It's like everyone's opinion is "my tribe is always right and deserves all the sympathy, the other tribe is always wrong and deserves all the suffering". No one cares about solutions or examining why a conflict has persisted for 80 years. Humans are so predictable.
Humans are manipulable, especially in large numbers. Humans are violent, but not irrational. It takes convincing for that.
People are absolutely irrational, especially in groups
Didn't K say a person is smart, people are dumb. Something along those lines.
MIB was a great movie
Individually, humans are erratic, not irrational. Seeing action without reason is very rare, the thing is that the reason that lead them is often flawed. Group dynamics are a whole different beast tho, they could be described as irrational.
