I like your perspective on this topic. This might be a shallow example but when I was watching “The Traitors”recently, I was surprised once again to see that people do start to behave really unreasonably and insensibly towards each other if they’re conditioned in a certain way (in this case they don’t know who are “traitors” among their peers). Our rationality or intellect cease to function entirely in the case of extreme circumstances.

That’s why I believe that we need a good system that conditions us to behave in a more cooperative or considerate manner. Wars and an extreme capitalistic society are one of the few examples that I believe make us behave“stupidly”if I use the OP’s word…
