More hopeful if you watch it again and pay attention. Downside of oxytocin can be easily modified in creative ways, BUT people have to be aware of it's powerful effects and 9 of 10 are not... yet... Share this!
Well that was fucking depressing. But very true. See it at school with the kids all the time.
