Outrage + Optimism: The Climate Podcast
The True Nature of People in Disasters
This chapter challenges the assumption that humans are inherently selfish by discussing research on how people behave in disasters, highlighting their pro-social, empathic, and courageous nature. It also explores the sense of community and connection that can arise in the midst of disaster, using the 9/11 attacks as an example. Additionally, the chapter raises questions about maintaining positive qualities during chronic emergencies like the climate crisis and emphasizes the importance of discipline, faith in human nature, and offering joy to stay connected.
