    You are wrong about greed. Greed is learned behavior and is not intrinsic to real human nature. Capitalism is not natural and is what has accelerated this greedy need in human society because our very existence is predicated upon it. Take away capitalism and instill an egalitarian system, and greed would disappear.

      No, greed is intrinsict to nature. Everything that is alive is fighting to survive and take from others to provide for itself.

      You talk purely hypothetical, because it is in no way feasible to just swap out the circumstances. We have to progress to such a goal. In the time you reach your goal, life has moved on to better things.

      It is beneficial and convenient for humans to be able to convert their work hours into transactional value. However currency itself is a flawed concept that constantly needs spdculation to be absolute. It’s why AI is a danger, it can observe the speculative price of things and update them in real time.

      I think the bigger issue is that corporations are replacing families intentionally.
