165 | Human Nature
What to Expect:
Why did the person cross the road? It’s human nature! We breakdown the logical fallacy and errorful logic in how the term “human nature” is often used. Like many things, the definition (or lack thereof) drives its potential utility, and we mainly fall on the side of: there is is no utility. Also, have you have noticed that people talk about human nature as how we react to the most extreme circumstances? Why kind of nonsense is that?! We explain it all in this discussion.
