Origins of scapegoating (Vsauce)

Nice, I love Vsauce! Really fun to binge watch this stuff late at night :P 

 

This video was really interesting. I knew about the scapegoat mechanism vaguely, never heard anything more specific until now. But you can see that stuff throughout history really....people and groups of people being blamed for something. I think it's generally very hard for people to say "Hey, maybe this is all of our faults" or "This was just something outside of our control". There seems to be some intrinsic desire to place the blame on something for why things go south; as if it's comforting to have something or someone to blame. It makes things easier, but not appropriately so.

 

This was a good video :lol:
