In the article “Simplexity” by Jeffrey Kluger compares a stream of water to humans and or human nature. Using this metaphor helps understand the process of how humans behave in a crisis and why. This Metaphor also clarifies how scientists form helpful exit routes for humans in a crisis like the one on September 11, 2001.
Kluger's analysis of responses during an evacuation can show things about human nature. One of them being the "fight or flight" response. In the text, Kluger says, "People have different levels of decision making skills, with some inevitable behaving more rationally than others." (Jeffrey Kluger, 129). This can be interpreted as either people make the decision to save themselves, or the decision to save and or help others.
