Absolutely right, couldn't agree more, Dr. HJ! That's human nature, isn't that true?
At least, a proper education wouldn't hurt to keep the person from the evil-side though it doesn't seem to work to many, by bad genes?, like this mother fucker Tramp I hate most, after Gregory XXXXs who almost ruined my career back in 1979, I still shudder whenever I think about. Through these two bastards, I once again convinced myself that there is too much human garbage/trash to spoil the whole human society.
So mad!!!!!

This discussion shed a lot of light on the behavior and mentality of Trump and his followers, i.e.
bringing back old white man's naked tribalism to 21st century America, trying to reverse all the
moral progress the nation has made since Civil War.
In my youth, I once wrote a short essay in Sigetop which was a realization that Homo sapiens
possesses dual potentials at the same time, namely, you can be so good like Jesus or St. Francis
on one hand, yet you can be the worst animal-like Hitler or 김정은 on the other hand.
Each human being possesses these two extreme capabilities so that each has life long job
in nurturing one over the other, good over bad.
I believe this philosopher is saying that collectively society has had to deal with
this instinctive tribalistic behavior of different groups, white vs colored, etc.
We have a long way to go, but as our WM has been saying optimistically,
I believe we are back on the right track to make the right moral progress in spite of
tribalistic Trump and his followers.
