I think people really
are mostly fairly
reasonable. But
I think also that
as soon as they perceive
an antagonism, reason
switches over to pure attack
/defense functions, and
any capacity they had
for objectivity goes
out the window. They're forced
and focused 100%
on defeating the challenge, and
they're primed to escalate
to the next level (and the next,
and the next, until finally they
find themselves doing something
utterly unreasonable! But in their
minds, it was
in their defense. Each step
of escalation was just
what they had to do
in response to the
threat) as needed
