@ErikUden@mastodon.de I think people here aren't doing the best job of seeking clarity, those dismissing certain posts because they think they are AI, what is the relevance? Is the data / opinion being presented of value or not? That it's writing style might not be to your preference is irrelevant to the content.
The study you reference, a lot of hoopla to tease out what we have an English word for, "Greed", and is it bad? Well it's evolutionary logic, people who possessed it acquired the resources they needed to pass on their genes to the next generation.
A lot of the problems we see to do are the result of genetics that largely evolved as hunter-gatherers when interaction was largely confined to small bands and tribes, material scarcity was an existential risk, and survival was the driver.
Now, we can survive better with cooperation than competition, we have regular global interaction and communications, international supply lines, our old genetic predispositions are no longer appropriate but the are still wired in.
If we want to survive we've got to use our cerebral capacity to override instinct long enough for our genetics to catch up, start thinking of our tribe as being any human anywhere, start valuing cooperation over competition.
