I agree with you re: apes with electronics. I have a personal theory about human evolution I call "restless ape theory" other apes might feed themselves, gain some territory, and call it a day, but not us. Some gene flipped a million years ago so that we will never be satisfied. Our ape ancestors hid from the weather and thought, this will not do. I was not making a moral judgement about those who gain capital, just explaining why they're the ones that get to decide. It might not be the best way to make collective decisions, but on the whole its better than violence, which is the alternative for those who can offer no incentive to act one way or another. I guess religion works too, but the anti-capitalists seem to dislike that as well. The point is, no one gets to tell anyone else what the point is. We are in competiton to persuade or have power over the unpersuadable.
