Mankind has a habit of dividing itself in “us vs. them” tribes…
— Bill Bonner
Whether it was on a prehistoric African Savannah or in modern America, the instinct is the same.
But who’s “us”? And who’s “them”?
It’s hard to say… and probably not worth trying.
The instinct that worked so well in the private space of a small tribe is a catastrophe in the large, public space. It cuts off trade. It leads to wars, persecutions, and genocides.”
