In this book, we will discover the various ways human nature stinks.
Did you know that criminal inmates consider themselves to be the best people in the world? How about the fact that most of the population finds psychopaths hot? Or that most people prefer electrocution over spending time alone with their own thoughts? And we humans like to pick on people we deem as 'other', including infamous serial killers who targeted certain populations of people who were different. Then, we like to follow that up with trolling each other into a miserable abyss online in anonymity.
Have you ever wondered why our brains like to categorize and distinguish between people who are like-minded and those who don't fit within our 'in' group? Ever considered why we like to outcast people who are not like us, rather than being kind and accepting to those who are different?
Have you heard of the term Schadenfreude, the phenomenon where people love to see other people suffer? We will cover why some people are struck with Freudenfreude rather than Schadenfreude. These higher awareness individuals tend to be happy when they see another person succeed, rather than taking bets on their misfortunes.
Have you seen the TV show Beef produced by A24, where a contractor matches wits with a suburban mother over a road rage incident? If given the choice, will we die on the hill where we declared war on another human being? Will we resort to killing someone else just to prove a point? Are we just animals when all our reason in our brains fails at solving the problem at hand? We love to watch the Three Stooges physically hurt one another, and most of us laugh at another's misfortune in the Quentin Tarantino movie Hateful Eight.
We will discuss karma, and why it doesn't work as well as humans think it should. We will uncover the reasons why humans hold onto their belief system like a dog with a bone, despite evidence to the contrary. A person will tend to stand on his or her soapbox all day preaching erroneous information rather than updating the narrative in his or her own head. We are an inflexible bunch, even when the truth is staring at us right in the face. Our fragile egos won't let another person tell us their truth, and we tend to side with our own friends and family even when they are flat-out deceptive liars.
