Your instincts are also counter to your best interests and success. Since our instincts developed for an environment that has not existed for thousands of years.

Your instincts are optimized for tribal life with around 40-120 people who were almost all your relatives. The only people living this type of lifestyle are isolated and protected tribal peoples such as the Sentinelese or the various South American uncontacted tribes.

So don't trust your instincts. Trust your intellect and wisdom after years of honing both. Temper both with education. And don't stop there: your learning and education should never stop until the day you die.

Your instincts can be improved with these things such as meeting a new person. Your intuition will tell you that this person is bad or good.
