First off thanks for your generosity in providing free access to your lectures on youtube. You may have already addressed this topic before. Lately, I have increasingly become interested in the topic of 'human nature'. Currently in graduate school studying the policy process in the context of the environment, I feel like much of what we do as society hinges upon our understanding or belief of who our fellow country men/women are as humans; their nature. We base our arguments, proposals, policies and academic endeavour on some implicit or explicit mental model that we have about human nature. I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks, BNI
