There are plenty of cultures and practices that did not seek dominance over any and all resources. Would be worth revisiting and adding that as an alternative.

Reshaping culture is not as bizarre as it seems (i.e. womens rights, democracy, egalitarianism, voting, an 8 hr workday, public education, all recent inventions/shifts)

> There are plenty of cultures and practices that did not seek dominance over any and all resources. Maybe so (I'm skeptical of that claim), but anyway it only takes one culture that does to take over. At some level, a specific group of humans controls each resource, regardless of whether they're generous with it. Agreed on your second point; it's not an alternative, it's the root cause. If we're able to improve our wiring, that's great. I'm not knowledgeable or optimistic about that prospect, hence the alternatives.
