> And some people seem to have an innate hatred/distrust of others, which probably served humans well thousands of years ago, but now it just gets in the way. I think the places where it serves us well and the places where it just gets in the way are just about the same now as they were thousands of years ago. If you doubt that, put yourselves in the shoes of someone who distrusts your particular set of tribes. Even if they are better off trusting you or any individual member of one of your tribes, are they better or worse off trusting that tribe as a whole? And if you think they are better off, does the potential advantage conveyed outweigh the potential risks?
