The Baal Shem Tov said, in Hebrew, the numerical equivalent of secret is light; for he who knows the essence of all, can shed light.

The essence of all human behaviors (though obviously, there are multiple essences, so we are talking about one) is game-theory.

Game theory clearly states, and woe to the person who ignores it, for they ignore the direct extermination of their people – that people will savagely rip each other apart, until they are more interested in living in peace.

Einstein deeply regretted – an eternal regret, his giving out the secret of the nuclear bomb – he did so, only, because he heard that the Germans were working on one.

In his words, “I don’t know what world war three will be fought with, but world war four, sticks and stones!”

We live in the vast secure utopian bubble – like armchair liberals, we genuinely compassionately see people in poorer lands as victims.

They are not victims – having lived in Africa for over a decade, the last thing all these people we see as victims, see themselves as, is victims.

They come from societies that are merciless.

People are shot, killed, raped, every minute there.

Such a society, doesn’t create victims; it creates heartless people; who in the end, to survive, as one gang member told me, “I had a choice, eat or be eaten!” – Now this is not to say, they don’t intrinsically have a heart – this is the truest nature of man – goodness and compassion! – but it is to say, that survival will invariably become the dominant aspect, rendering the former compassionate person (children are born with great empathy as studies by neurosurgeons show) into a merciless, bloodthirsty, savage.

It pays to note, that if you think back to all the mass-murderers, be they Hitler, Genghis-Kahn and imagine them as children, are they not innocent?

Hence, it is obviously that game-theory – the society you are born into plays, the nurture, or more like the opposite of nurture, the savage-creator.

We live so far from reality, that as they say, “A liberal is a person who hasn’t been stabbed” – this is why, if you ask Iranians, if you ask Arabs, they all will tell you, that the Iranian regime, are Jihadist crazed savages.
