a. “Mean”
Why people can be so mean to each other? Is it sth we are born with or sth we learn? Why people want to be mean? How do we deal with mean people? How a society creates mean people? Why some environment creates less mean people?
Maybe, something mean and ugly may look pretty & thrilling & exciting from another perspective...It doesn’t matter we learnt it or we were born with it. It’s just there. It does matter, however, what & how we are gonna do with it...
b. Conflicting emotions
Conflicting emotions: emotions that make people tough & successful v.s. emotions that make people soft & amicable. Economic territory v.s. social territory. How do we deal with it? Instant switching is ‘ugly’, but seems like survival skills very often are ugly. What should we do? What can we do? Or should we ask this question in the first place?
c. Game
The endless ‘games’ between regulators & financiers...at the end, rules are simply something people try to circumvent...what we need then, could be better mechanism designs for the systems, in which following the rules is beneficial to participants (both psychologically and materially)...
* Note: there is no single perfect mechanism in any given case, we can achieve better mechanism only through continual small-scale experiments that consistently brace for failures and crack comfort zones.

A story of how Wall street’s mechanism dragged us into this damn crisis here.
