@Gigan @SouthEndSunset

Greed, selfishness and our hyper-individualism is a product of our society, not society as a product of our nature

These sentiments are something encouraged by those in power as it is advantageous for them to have the masses in want

There are underlying instincts for survival and dominance that have manifested today as greed and selfishness, but that is something an equitable society can address given the chance

To suggest otherwise is incredibly degrading humanity
