We're horrified when it does happen, of course. But, in attempting to protect against such an occurrence (however rare) we've ended up wrapping our children in a stiflingly oppressive protective shell. And that's very harmful, too.

Then he opened his mouth and out fell my beloved grandmother's sweet soft kind Georgia accent...huge check mark for trust column....totally on gut feel and totally absurd, but compelling nonetheless. He was a leader of a huge city singles group with complex scheduling of many sub group hobby events...bridge, tennis, golf, water sports, chess, book discussions etc etc....a leader chosen by the the group, so check in the leader category, check in the conscientiousness category, check in the truthworthiness categogy and in the not a psychopath,sociopath killer/rapist category, trim fit body, worked out twice a week so check in the healthy fit category, avid reader, check in the intelligence, open mindedness and shared passions categories, sailor another check in the shared passion category, enjoyed travel and foreign cuisines...same ones as my favs...check in the openness category...Only one MAJOR category left relavent to me: how was he in bed?

@@sw3tfilth207 i can summerize. Default to truth=default to trust. Without initial trust in communication and cooperation nothing would progress. Example: we met for the first time and take what the other shares in good faith. Until one of us gives the other a reason to doubt or distrust the other we continue to cooperate. The big idea is a default to trust someone is key to civilized progress. If we suspected each other constantly nothing would move forward. This predictability has a down side though. It makes people easy to take advantage of by people willing to act outside the social norms or ethic.

@@bruceanderson5538I agree and disagree with you. I agree since by not d2I you avoid being taken advantage of and avoid a crisis. You learn not to touch a hot stove. However, absolutely avoiding trusting strangers is like touching the stove and never going near one again on principle. You never learn how to cook on stove and instead work harder feeding yourself by narrowing down your interactions to only black and white scenarios. Or more literally, you stunt your own personal development because you cannot trust anyone and thereby dont see the wider experience of humanity and the world...because you only do things alone or with people you can keep at arms length. This is demonstrated in traumatized individuals like a rape victim or war veteran etc. I agree by not d2I you avoid being ignorant to what people can do and how fast they can turn on you. You gain resiliency and the ability to anticipate and prepare expectations better. However, I dont think by doing so to an extreme one escapes universal ignorance or bliss. Yes, you no longer operate or think with the limitation of ethics or blind trust, essentially stepping outside the box, but at the cost of empathy and the trust with others. You emulate traits of the people your proactively trying to stay ahead of. Eventually the social isolation/ cynicism becomes more of a liability than an asset. Ultimately, we have to cooperate and engage regardless. But we each have to chose our approach and ethics wisely. Being a pessimist or a cynic is a strategy to cope and survive...but it doesnt guarantee you thrive or network. Being honorable gets you into an in-group or social leverage, but your predictable and open to manipulation. Strive to find the balance/grey I would say, and remember the only minority that matters is the individual. As we are all individuals foremost. One strategy may be more conducive to a context than another in situation later on. Just dont be rigid, be fluid and fluent with the people around you while keeping in mind theyre human.

See I think people say they’re trusting of others but the important distinction is that people are trusting of the people they want to trust. And ofc when you’re face to face with someone you’re more likely to trust them. You might even have friends with different opinions than you right now and that’s because you aren’t just your one opinion. That trump supporter that you may hate, well guess what he probably likes something you like too. But people are still on the defensive a lot of the time and they are not good at it. People should try being trusting of more people while simultaneously figuring out what a deceiver looks like. Because while you tell everyone to start being more skeptical the true deceivers that the country will be looking for will have already gotten you to laugh and smile all while slowly achieving their plan because psychopaths deceive by appearing normal. Other people are just idiots.

Take Father Michael down our road a piece - I'm not of his creed, but I know the goodness and charity and lovingkindness that shine in his daily actions. I believe in Father Mike; if I'm in trouble, I'll go to him. My next-door neighbor is a veterinary doctor. Doc will get out of bed after a hard day to help a stray cat. No fee - no prospect of a fee. I believe in Doc. “Decency is not news; it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime. I believe in the patient gallantry of nurses...in the tedious sacrifices of teachers. I believe in the unseen and unending fight against desperate odds that goes on quietly in almost every home in the land. “I believe in the honest craft of workmen. Take a look around you. There never were enough bosses to check up on all that work. From Independence Hall to the Grand Coulee Dam, these things were built level and square by craftsmen who were honest in their bones. “I believe that almost all politicians are honest. For every bribed alderman there are hundreds of politicians, low paid or not paid at all, doing their level best without thanks or glory to make our system work. If this were not true, we would never have gotten past the thirteen colonies. “I believe in - I am proud to belong to - the United States. Despite shortcomings, from lynchings to bad faith in high places, our nation has had the most decent and kindly internal practices and foreign policies to be found anywhere in history. And finally, I believe in my whole race. Yellow, white, black, red, brown - in the honesty, courage, intelligence, durability … and goodness … .of the overwhelming majority of my brothers and sisters everywhere on this planet. I am proud to be a human being. I believe that we have come this far by the skin of our teeth, that we always make it just by the skin of our teeth - but that we will always make it … survive … endure. I believe that this hairless embryo with the aching, oversize brain case and the opposable thumb, this animal barely up from the apes, will endure - will endure longer than his home planet, will spread out to the other planets, to the stars, and beyond, carrying with him his honesty, his insatiable curiosity, his unlimited courage - and his noble essential decency.

The brain deciphers what you read in the book. At the end, the lessons learned were you the ones who fitted with your own narrative. If you read the book again you will come up with a new narrative because you have evolved since. But viewing on KZitem the writer’s book provides you with its own perspective. Which is different activity for the brain than reading.

People in affluent Western societies, who've never experienced life under an authoritarian rule, feel much safer, are relaxed and laid-back. Those from Eastern Europe are often surprised at how naive and gullible westerners can be on certain issues. Authoritarian regimes, on the other hand, have no qualms, are cunning and ruthless, and their citizens, who were forced to live double lives, are sceptical, distrustful, often cynical to this day, even younger generations, 30 years after the collapse of the Berlin wall. This is what lies at the root of what Malcolm Gladwell is talking about.

I have the 'open door test'. By and large, if there is someone behind me ( or even right infront of me) at a doorway, I find in UK or USA that person knowing I am there will hold the door open a fraction for me to catch, after them. I went to Poland and Russia. Norway too. There, the person in front of me will almost never hold the door open a fraction of a second longer than they themselves require to go through it. So it slams shut and I have to lug it open again. Its better for both of us if we assist each other even as strangers, but some societies have not reached that level of cooperation.

I find the Wisdom shared by the Allies of Humanity in their Briefings about the Greater Community into which we are emerging, to be incredibly useful in this respect. Well worth taking a look at - they are free to read online.

this reminds me of what happens in the mahabharat , one of the great epics of hinduism: there's the kauravas and the pandavas. pandavas: follow dharma (truth), and kauravas follow adharma (not the truth; sin) kauravas are tricksters, anti-truth, dishonest, and deceitful. (if kauravas is hard for you to remember, just think of kardashians. same sort of people, also starts with k). and there's 100 kauravas. the pandavas on the other hand are hardworking, follow truth, are honest and law-abiding people. there's only a mere 5 of them. they get tricked terribly by the kauravas unfortunately, making the win of the kauravas very humiliating and embarrassing for the pandavas. it's very celebrated, presented very highly, looks like there's no hope for the pandavas. but what they realize is that the kauravas win is only temporary. it's finally the pandavas who actually win, because after the war, all five pandavas survive, but not one single kaurava remains alive. and the real loss is that to this day, almost every hindu can remember the names of the five pandavas, but not a single name of the hundreds of kauravas who were there. the only names they remember from the kauravas are the leader of their pack, and then only those who previously had ties with or related to pandavas. which is not that many lol it's worth being truthful honest and trusting rather than be suspicious and paranoid; through evolution we have always chosen them as our successors. please, guys, it's our responsibility to uphold and continue to follow this statement and pass it on very strongly to our next generation. let us promote the truthful and honest people, and not let the fear of cunning, manipulative and trickster people put us down. there's always a god up there watching over us, and you can bluff all you want, even yourself, but you cannot bluff him. their success is only temporary, but as it's said in hinduism, the only truth that prevails in a world of illusion is dharma. in the world of illusion, it feels like they won, but just like how drugs give us temporary pleasure but are dangerous and intoxicating, their success is only a temporary success that can blind us to an illusion. it's painful and feels like there's no hope, it's okay to feel that way. it's okay to give up, but don't become like them, otherwise your end will be deadly.
