The two are tightly intertwined. Money is a powerful force multiplier. People are fundamentally still the same as we were 1000s of years ago. The same instincts that served us well then are our greatest weakness today.
When looking at relatively new and abstract societal expectations now… its not particularly shocking that the norm tends to be weighted towards short sighted individualism. We’re just wired that way. I’m not excusing it: ita humanities greatest flaw. We just need to acknowledge these flaws and plan accordingly.
