In this clip from “An Inside Look,” Oren Levi discusses what Squid Games shows about human nature with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman. The following is a transcript of the clip: Oren Levi: A new TV show is taking the world by storm. And I'd like to hear your opinion about the horrific things that it reveals about human nature. What is the show all about? You take a few hundred people who are seriously in debt and in mental distress. You bring them to this game. You give them different challenges and whoever loses is shot. The one running the game creates different intrigues and conflicts between the participants. He puts them in situations where they need to kill the person that was with them up until the end. When you watch this show, you're thinking, what does it say about me as a human being? Is my nature truly that egoistic? That I'm willing to kill everyone just in order to survive? Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman: Of course, it's not even a question. Oren Levi: No, I'm not that way. That's how they are. They're real animals. Not me. Dr. Laitman: You only think that you're not like that. You could be even worse. Oren Levi: The more you talk about it, the more afraid I become of where the world is headed. In five, ten, or twenty years, what kind of world will we have? Dr. Laitman: Everyone's doing everything only for their own sake in order to survive, and all day long I'm just looking for who's standing in the way of my survival in this world. Who am I going to kill today? Because if not today, then tomorrow they'll stand in the way of my happiness and sense of security. Oren Levi: How can we make the world a better place? Dr. Laitman: First of all, for people to want to change the world there needs to be the recognition of evil. People will then be receptive to the explanation of how to do it. That process, the engagement in the education itself, will change our nature and we will see a different world—a world of connection and love.
