In a podcast with popular American radio show host Alex Jones, Mike Tyson delved into why America is successful, and more. Jones asked, “Why is America the most successful, but also the best, but also the most evil? It’s like a paradox like it’s all going on.”

To which, Tyson replied, “Because, the reason why America is so successful is because of the balance. If this was a perfect world, if we lived in the perfect world with all the food and the money that we couldn’t even handle, we would kill each other, and then we would stop mating, and then we would all die out. That’s what a perfect world would do. If you imagine having everything in the world, you would wind up dying. But if the world would struggle, there’s life and it will flourish.”

Apparently, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ probably put forth the baddest truth for humankind.
