Thank you @arthuradamson for making us reflect once again on human nature. When you write about a greed-driven society my thoughts go in the direction of thinking that greed is linked to the scarcity of resources. If it's so, eliminating this scarcity eliminates greed but is this making us better beings? I mean, If i'm not being evil just because I am not given the chance to commit a crime that doesn't make me a good person, does it? Another thought: are we greedy because of the unequal superstructure in which we live, or else is this society unequal because our nature of natural predators made it as it is?

A very thoughtful response my good fellow. I see that you are a rather deep going personality and one who perhaps has experienced a sour taste of disappointment in life.
There will always be those who will be tempted to harm others in various ways and indeed I would call such people, predators. Those who are among the 3% known as psychopathic individuals . However, the rest of the human race are not of such a demeanor. Yes they have weaknesses and may yet still make mistakes and faults, but on the whole, in a more honest and fair environment, "normal" human beings generally behave well to each other.
I think the aim is to try to at least reduce the percentage level of crime or evil so that the balance is more in favour of the good. Surely that is the best we can do. At the moment, the balance is in favour of the greed and corrupt. And as we know, corruption is like a pathogenic bacteria and can spread easily if the environment is filthy. We must first set to the task of cleaning up the environment in order for goodness to flourish once again.
I believe that blockchain technology will help in doing this. It will hinder corruption and keep the predators away from positions of power.
Thank you for the excellent reply @f3nix : )
You are a bright and inspiring person Arthur and I followed you. Yes probably I lived some sour experiences, as we all did in a way or another, but I consider myself lucky in comparison to many people in this world. I think indirectly I gave another point of view/reply to your article through the one I just posted now, I'd like your opinion if you want :-) See you here around!
Thank you my good fellow : )
I will surely check out your post and give a comment.
