It's worth considering that we all get to individually assign value to something, and that value is mostly an opinion, which means it's not right or wrong objectively. There are certainly extremes like those who hoard, but just because others values some things more than you do doesn't make them wrong.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoI agree in one aspect, but in another aspect, I disagree. Humans have natural instincts which makes them hoard because that would have been adaptive in times of scarcity (i.e. our ancient past). Now, in times of surplus, that instinct is mostly maladaptive. So I DO posit that humans on average place a higher value on hoarding than they should, and that if they actually took the time to override this basal instinct with higher brain functions, then on AVERAGE they would be happier.
