It Is Human Nature To:

• Have some good traits and some bad traits.

• Segregate into in-groups and out-groups.

• Judge an entire out-group by the worst traits of its worst members.

• Judge one's entire in-group by the best traits of its best members.

• Feel righteous in this judgment.

• Work to fortify the collective sense of righteousness within the in-group.

• Glorify the honorableness of opposing, fighting, converting, or eliminating the out-group.

• Never see the mutuality, irony, and destructiveness of this competition.

• Privately believe this list applies to everyone except oneself.
