I can tell from here, you are all good people.
Of course, there is the 3% of offenders.
I see two there, one there, one there,
the others … sorry,
and at the same time, that’s not what interests us.
What interests us is you, the good people.
Well people, sometimes, do things wrong.
Often.
He looks a bit austere, his name is Paul Tibbets,
but he had a bunch of friends, and they had a masterpiece.
But they are good people.
So, science has been taken aback.
Science has wondered
why good people could do horrors?
I’m going to talk to you about David Rock, which brought together researchers
in a set he calls “the NeuroLeadership Institute” –
people who do research in neuroscience,
who has an object in leadership or management –
and David is formal: we are the reason.
It’s in us, it’s in our DNA, it’s in our brain.
We have a brain that makes the difference,
between the pain of this child and the pain of this man.
We feel things, or we do not feel.
And it probably comes from this time –
So, it’s a bad representation, we were more like that,
and we lived in clan of about fifty people,
and belonging to this clan was the condition of our survival.
It was not a choice, it was a necessity.
And we kept, obviously, the necessary attitudes at that time.
I say of course, because DNA takes a long time to change.
DNA – to give you an example:
we have all been drinking milk for 7,000 years,
half of the population does not digest it.
7,000 years, a half-life for DNA,
on an essential element of our diet.
Essential: current.
Our DNA moves very slowly.
The hunter-gatherer needed to belong to the group,
his DNA has evolved for that.
On the other hand, an individual who shows up on the territory of the hunter-gatherer,
who does not speak the same language,
who wants to possibly steal his flint
– the flint deposit was the oil of today –
it’s called a game.
And your brain will allow you to hit him, to hurt him, to kill him,
to open it, to empty it and to eat it.
The brain allows you that, to survive.
That’s a hypothesis.
Harvard researchers sought to test the hypothesis.
They asked students to learn German
with this young woman and with this gentleman.
I’m going to surprise you, this gentleman speaks German very well.
The students of this gentleman did not speak German well.
Their brains had set up a real veil,
which prevents the passage of any information.
“If we start to understand this man, how are we going to kill him? “
So, that’s what we do:
we put people we do not like
in the monster box.
And we do it constantly, and without even noticing it.
I came on a scooter,
a car failed to overturn me,
you think well where finished the driver.
And at the same time,
I guess I went into his monster box,
and that he wished me to go to a wall to teach me life.
So, what I propose to you,
it’s about reducing the size of this monster box,
to reduce their use,
to become aware of it already,
because the biggest will be this monster box,
the more you risk becoming monsters yourself.
The smallest will be this monster box,
and the best we can live together tomorrow.
(Applause)
