- mistrial9 3y agofrom a psychology point of view, a "warning" with scary words just adds fuel to crisis-mentality, the last thing that anyone wants in a general population. Literally, since the one-third plus one-third plus one-third equals "everyone" .. the quote instills fear. Though it may be insightful in an ugly way, repeating this kind of thing with emphasis is how to start fires IMHO
