Humanism is a great idea - but is contrary to our animal nature.
Capitalism is successful because it depends on the animal instinct to feed yourself first. However we somehow developed GREED ( which started this thread )
Animals don't seem to have this thing for greed - they will have their fill and then let the others eat.
More and more this seems to be the overriding 'benefit' of our so called superior intellect and creativity - perverting everything that is natural.
This process only seems to overturn itself after extreme excess has been achieved (Bill Gates had to be the richest man on earth before he pledged to give it all away ) and then realize that you simply have no use for all that cash.....
Unfortunately the average new capitalist is too happy splurging on yachts to think about the sweatshop worker creating his product or the C scaler having to cough up a $ 120 000 bribe (debenture in capitalist speak ) to get his kid into an English school in HKG
