Your brain categorizes people into "safe" or "dangerous" before you are even aware of it. It’s not a flaw. It’s exactly what it was built to do. In this video, we explore Muzafer Sherif's Robbers Cave Experiment, Henri Tajfel's Minimal Group Paradigm, and the neuroscience behind why your brain creates enemies — even when they don’t exist. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 — The story your brain already wrote 1:45 — The Robbers Cave experiment 3:30 — The Minimal Group Paradigm 5:00 — What happens inside the brain 6:15 — The truth about the enemy 7:20 — The end of the experiment ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 SOURCES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ — Sherif, M.
