I remember recently I took a psychological exam during a job interview, they asked me about my response to a question:

Do you have faith in the basic goodness of humanity?

I answered no. I have a great deal of confidence in the goodness of any one individual. I think that alone or in very small groups we're brilliant, good-hearted creatures, but the more of us you put together, the worse the results will inevitably be. Mob mentality will destroy us.
