Würden wir eine Zeitreise in die Zeit vor 500 Jahren oder 500 Jahre in die Zukunft machen, wären wir erschüttert, wie sehr sich Technik und Medizin verändert haben. Die geopolitische Ordnung würde für uns keinen Sinn ergeben. Die Sprache wäre uns völlig fremd. Und doch müssten wir in dieser uns vollkommen unbekannten Welt die Menschen nur wenige Minuten beobachten und würden sagen: »Ah, das habe ich schon einmal gesehen.« Denn uns würden zahlreiche universelle Verhaltensweisen begegnen: Menschen, die von Angst, Neid und Gier angetrieben werden; Menschen, die blind vor Selbstüberschätzung fatale Entscheidungen treffen.
