[QUOTE="partinobodycular, post: 77602649, member: 435281"] Sorry, this simply isn't true. You see what you wanna see. We have a society today that's creating an unprecedented amount of wealth, and that's mostly a good thing, not a bad thing. It does however come with some growing pains, like climate change, ever-present inequalities, and technological influences bringing about more social awareness, and its heretofore hidden idiosyncrasies. But we're dealing with it as best we can. There are always gonna be growing pains. The biggest problem isn't greed, it's all the people running around screaming that everything is going to heck in a handbasket. They're the ones causing the hysteria. Get over it. But that's not what evolution has designed us to do. It's designed us to have a certain percentage of individuals that are always running around screaming that the sky is falling. Which is in a way, a good thing, as they serve as the canary in a coal mine, keeping us from getting complacent about potential dangers. Yes, they're loud, and annoying, and often obnoxious, but they serve a purpose. They alert us to potential pitfalls. The key is that we don't want to give them too much power, and we don't want society as a whole to get the impression that the world is teetering on the brink of total collapse... it's not. It's just us dealing with a changing world, and certain personality types being overwrought about it. Same old same old as they say. So when you're reading all the clickbait media stories, remember that this too shall pass, and quite often the biggest danger facing society isn't what all the "Chicken Littles" are squawking about, it's the "Chicken Littles" themselves.
