About this episode
Are most people good? Are interactions between two people who do not know each other predominantly positive or negative? Perhaps put in a more practical question, should you assume that strangers you meet are good?Of course, there is no easy answer. After all, many interactions between people (most, in fact) are positive. However, there are those few interactions that result in catastrophe, or at the least, personal trauma. To answer this question, it may be best to explore evolutionary biology and draw upon current research. This episode discusses talking with strangers. I dive into trust issues, biology, and some interesting examples. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
