Rutger Bregman is himself negative and suffocating. His works are in simplistic theories like universal income..etc. He earns his money by attacking the establishment that he sees imperfect...by a large scale. And that is fine because at least he is thinking. Apparently you missed his interpretation of Rousseau.

Have you not read Rousseau.... especially regarding human nature???

In 1749, while walking to Vincennes to visit the briefly-imprisoned Diderot and idly reading a newspaper, Rousseau came across the announcement of an essay competition organized by the Academy of Dijon. The Academy sought submissions on the theme of whether the development of the arts and sciences had improved or corrupted public morals. Rousseau later claimed that he then and there experienced an epiphany which included the thought, central to his world view, that humankind is good by nature but is corrupted by society

Do you not understand what I was saying:

Bingo. Corruption and ineptness...compounded by.... falsehoods
and idiocy spread by all media outlets and social media.

Hello?????????? :)
