I don’t think evil is part of the human condition.
Humans have complex language, and are capable of learning, adjusting behaviour, and building culture over time.
Capitalism is a system that teaches and enforces greed and exploitation. It’s natural for endpoint is the destruction of our environment and the enslavement of humanity.
But if we lived under a different system that was not capitalism and instead fostered sustainable, egalitarianism, while also allowing us to cooperatively build technology to improve our lives, I believe this is something that we could build a culture around. It’s not that we’re pre-programmed a certain way and always destined to fall into the same trap…. Just when you create and enforce a system that expects infinite growth within a finite system, that forces people to compete over and hoard resources then of course you’re going to get greed, exploitation, and eventually collapse.
Another world and another way of being is possible if we build it over time.
I remember when capitalists first claimed this idea. It was seen as ridiculous, but then got pushed through. So maybe it’s something that you’ve been conditioned to or grown up with accepting as the way things are.
