Overconfidence is slow and insidious killer

I will always re-blog this. The story of Kitty Genovese’s murder has gone down in history as a story about everyone watching it happen and doing nothing and none of the story is true.

I was in southern Ontario during great eastern North America blackout of 2003. Every movie I've ever seen would have imagined an orgy of looting and senseless violence. Instead, i remember people forming orderly lines, communicating what information was available, being helpful to one another.

Helping is such a strong instinct in humans that we have to train people to not run into enclosed spaces with a person unconcious in them or near overturned chemical trucks because there might be a gas leak or other invisible hazards and they'd probably die too. People have died jumping into water that was electrified because someone already in it was drowning and they didn't think twice. Humans are hardwired to just help, so much so we hardly ever consider that there might be something there that could hurt us too, and tbh I think that's something we can all be proud of.

“These ugly looking creatures”

Several "silent protagonist" type adventurers are getting on the guilds nerves with their refusal to speak, so in an attempt to teach them a lesson the guild leadership forces them to team up. Much to the guilds annoyance they all manage to work together flawlessly in spite of never speaking.

Until death, all defeat is psychological.

needs a pop of color . . . I think some red accents would really give it that homey feel :)
