Particularly now that they have discovered how to buy power and magnify their personal wealth. Beyond their circles the average ambitious person - usually male, btw - is being conditioned by the need to build personal wealth, by commercial, political, and media interests. It is no longer enough to house and feed your family, they have to provide the best, and secure retirement funding on top of that. In the process our communities and social structures are falling apart.
No wonder young men and women are turning to other ways of being...
Hmmm...back to the communes...
I think we really have to try to somehow encourage the best of human nature rather than the worst. Teaching empathy in schools would be a good start
No one needs trillions & I suspect that having far too much is also extremely bad for humans, so we need to change that somehow.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
