Maybe on a societal level. But not as an innate thing to humans. In fact this “greed is inevitable” line of thinking is one of the justifications for our current system.
- anthony_d 3y agoNot sure what your thought process is there… if something is impossible to overcome on a societal level doesn’t that mean it’s innate to humans? We don’t quit being human because we’re in a large group. Group behavior is different from some individual’s behavior but it’s the same as other individual’s behavior. Are you saying greed isn’t inevitable?
- avgcorrection 3y ago> Group behavior is different from some individual’s behavior but it’s the same as other individual’s behavior. It isn't. There are greedy and sociopathic people out there which will hoard power and money (greed) for themselves. To the point that we get such cataclysmic problems. And there has been an environment for such people ever since we were able to hoard foodstuff (grains) and other valuables. The degree to which normal people are greedy is not comparable.
