It's not stupidity or weakness, it's just human nature. Gerry Lane: How did you know? Jurgen Warmbrunn: Gerald Lane, the self defeating Jeremiah, model employer in the U.N., back in 2010. Caused a few ripples, sidelined your career. Thought you'd have parleyed those ripples into a self-righteous book. Gerry Lane: No one does for profit. How did Israel know? Jurgen Warmbrunn: We intercepted a communique from an Indian general, saying they were fighting the "rakshasa". Translation, "zombies". Technically, undead. Gerry Lane: Jurgen Warmbrunn, high-ranking official in the Mossad. Described as sober, efficient, not terribly imaginative, and yet, you build a wall because you read a communique that mentions the word "zombie"? Jurgen Warmbrunn: Well, if you put it like that, I'd be skeptical as well. Jurgen Warmbrunn: In the '30s, Jews refused to believe they could be sent to concentration camps. In '72, we refused to be massacred in the Olympics. In the month before October 1973 we saw Arab troop movements, and we unanimously agreed that they didn't pose a threat. Now, a month later, the Arab attack almost drove us into the sea. So, we decided to make a change. Gerry Lane: A change? Jurgen Warmbrunn: "The tenth man." If nine of us with the same information arrived at the exact same conclusion, it's the duty of the tenth man to disagree. No matter how improbable it may seem, the tenth man has to start thinking with the assumption that the other nine were wrong. Gerry Lane: And you were that tenth man? Jurgen Warmbrunn: Precisely. Jurgen Warmbrunn: Since everyone assumed that this talk of zombies was cover for something else, I began my investigation on the assumption, that when they said, zombies they meant zombies. Not that I am basing my decisions on a quote from a movie (much less a zombie apocalypse one) but it has a point!! they call it playing the "devil's advocate" All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
