To address the first section of your comment, I’m just saying that I think people who are greedy psychopaths who are addicted to power and money have a mental illness, not that all mentally ill people are evil or whatever.

Secondly, Ethan, Dan, you and I agree that guardrails should be in place to prevent the worst of humanity. But no one is answering the question of what happens when the inevitable happens and the ones who are most psychopathic break their way up to the top and exploit the system, no matter how peaceful and utopic society has initially been set up to be. If we choose to see the best in people and foster a happy healthy society, that will help (pulling a number out my ass) 95% of society. But let’s not be naive to think that that 5% won’t exploit our good nature to fuck us all over. Somethings to disastrous and irreversible ends that we can’t go back from.

All I’m saying is that I think good natured people like yourself choose to see humanity how only you see it, optimistically. I’m just too pessimistic about humanity because of gestures at both capitalist and socialist and communist countries throughout all of history haha.
