I wonder how susceptible I am to this. Everyone is, of course, to some degree.

But I’ve always – sometimes to my great detriment – cared more about being right than being part of any tribe. (Hence why I get thrown out of most tribes!)

It was not a popular opinion in my extremely religious school to be a vocal agnostic/atheist, or to tell people who didn’t believe in evolution that they were dumb, yet I did it (often).

I suspect human nature will have to be genetically altered to affect any real difference. The most likely scenario for this is not that it occurs voluntarily, but some rogue researcher in 2179 (if we survive that long) releases some genetically-modifying virus that does it covertly and illegally.
