Quotes:
“Rationality is not the strong suit of our species”
My recommendations are not the typical tips from an academic about how to encourage more rational decisions. I think that rationality is not the strong suit of our species. We are Homo tributus, not Homo economicus. Certainly, tribal instincts are part of the problem in many pressing conflicts, but they also can be — and, I think, have to be — part of the solution.
Michael Morris, 2024 from the book Tribal: How the Cultural Instincts That Divide Us Can Help Bring Us Together
