It's because "richness" creates a pathologically competitive social system that encourages this sort of destruction activity in order to get the token that conveys value.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoI’m going to argue pathologically competitive people are the causative factor rather than richness itself.
- nickthemagicman 8y agoI'm going to argue that lack of resources(caused by inequality) makes people pathologically competitive.
- lopmotr 8y agoYou mean rich people are to blame for poor people destroying their environment because the rich people set an example for poor people to aspire to? Have you got a suggestion for a way to solve that problem other than what the Khmer Rouge did? I have. Forbid poor people from becoming rich. By keeping them in fixed economic classes, they won't have the motivation to compete so hard and then the fish will be saved. There are obvious bad side effects of this. Can you improve on it?
