💡 Behavioural scientists of the world (and everyone else, really), take a look at this! I can't wait to see this documentary and learn more about what it reveals (or, apparently, debunks) about human nature. Rutger Bregman has already made an important contribution to the quest to determine our "natural inclination" towards good or evil with his 2021 book "Humankind". As a integrity and compliance professional, I have facilitated discussions about this as an icebreaker in my capacity building activities. It is always quite impressive to see what leads to a person's perception of human nature. It often goes back to personal experience, but also to what we have been taught to think - and the Stanford Prison Experiment has been a powerful argument for #TeamHumansAreEvil. It's also worth noting how critical it is to ensure that scientists put #IntegrityFirst, as they may inform generations of decision-makers in many areas of society.
