ΠΡΩΗΝ CIA ΚΑΤΑΣΚΟΠΟΣ: ΟΙ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙ ΔΕΝ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΛΟΙ - ANDREW BUSTAMANTE

Human beings are not good. Human beings aren't kind, they're not generous. Can people be kind and can people be generous? Absolutely. Especially when they have an excess of resources. Right. There's a reason why the Middle east, like Bedouins in the Middle east, there's a reason why they fought their entire history while people in the Amazon learn to live at peace. I don't feel like I have to fight you to the death over a mango when there's 600 mangoes growing. But when you're in the middle of the desert and there's like one date tree, and that one date tree produces 50 dates, we might have to fight to the death to make sure that I have dates to feed my family for the next month. And you don't. Poverty stricken Southeast Asia or poverty stricken Africa, maybe there you'll actually find two 10 year olds that hit each other with clubs. You wouldn't find that in most civilized parts of the United States. But that doesn't necessarily mean that violent thoughts don't go through their heads. Right? So when I say that people aren't, aren't kind, what I mean is people aren't kind. Like what happens is that when we have an opportunity to show kindness or selfishness to somebody else, usually the first thought that goes through our head is a thought of self preservation, a thought of survival. What do I need? If what I need is met and I have excess, then I'll share it with you. If I have excess time, then I might say something kind. If I don't have time and you need kindness, I might just walk right past you. We are pack animals. We are tribal creatures, which means we bond into packs and we bond into tribes. Not because we care about the other people in the tribe. It's because we know that the tribe can take care of us. That's what makes us tribal. Just like wolves, just like lions. Right. That's why we come together, because we see a benefit for ourselves when we're together. How do people gain your trust? The number of people that I trust, I mean, I can count them on my two hands. And when I think about the people that I trust, it's really more who do I trust to do certain things? There are some people I trust to actually have my back no matter what happens. My wife is one of those people. No matter what happens, I know she's got my back.
