Germans like Jews Jews like Germans have
words for everything
yetzer hara evil inclination
the innate human impulse towards
self-interest pleasure potential evil
he also received that through the writer
W G Sebald
tickled by words
yetzer hara one fishhook y
why
because
hed been talking with buddy about sharing a piece of chocolate
specifically
how
children are taught to share chocolate or some sweet
when it is broken the child who is
sharing is to take the smaller pieces
which is not innate
children people
are greedy
given their druthers
they would share
but theyd naturally take the larger piece
Muthafucker ought to be happy Im sharin
yetzer hara
Wha do you think
Wha percent
woud want to eat the larger piece
That’s tough.
Its not
Obviously Naturally
The
percentage at a minimum will exceed seventy
Baseline? Yeah.
I’d say seventynine percent are greedy.
You?
You know Im an absolutist Well into the nineties
If the
world were ideal Onehundred percent
People are greedy
If given their
druthers theyre naturally zero-sum
Whenever I consider the appeal the floor the benefit on which cooperation collaboration
stand I unfortunately see the circling shadows of vultures overhead who
believe the benefits belong to them
By their means they coerce cooperation and collaboration
That’s dire. You really think so?
Its evident
Yetzer hara
