“What Drives Success?”, Part I | Clarissa's Blog
Australians tend to have a very high level of animal nature and are very masochistic. They tend toward what Steven Pinker talks about in terms of the parable of the scorpion and the frog. They hire a frog to get them across the river, but then they sting it because that is in their nature. There's no getting beyond this, no higher mind, nothing to reason with. It's a cultural instinct. The love stinging frogs so much, they don't care what happens to themselves.
