    Some perhaps. Not all. And not all to the same degree. It’s something we can work to move beyond. That ability is also human nature.

      At some point, you’re fighting evolution and lizard brains. Some people can overcome their prejudices, but expecting the world’s human population to be able to overcome that fight or flight response to strangers is probably not something achievable.

      Yeah, but us hairless chimps didn’t have the internet before. Our primate brains weren’t ready for weaponized misinformation in the palm of our hands.

      It’s probably going to get worse.
