[1]The Molotov Cocktail Principle explains why it's so tempting to blow
up your life:
In the second season of the NBC sitcom [2]The Good Place, a
character named Jason Mendoza offers a deep, unexpected insight into
the human psyche.
Jason and his friends are discussing how to deal with an outside
threat when Jason suggests throwing a Molotov cocktail. His pals
stare at him, baffled: This won't make the danger go away! But Jason
explains that this has long been his go-to solution in times of
duress.
"Any time I had a problem, I threw a Molotov cocktail," he explains.
"And, boom, I had a different problem."
