"However, the civilisation system that we build promotes and rewards above else cheaters and sociopaths. "
BINGO, we have a winner!
Take, for example the rules of capitalism. (I could cite other economic systems but this one is more relevant for the moment.) Capitalism seems to favour those who are more willing to cut corners, without crossing the line into illegal behaviour. I'll give a real life example from a company I worked for.
In the early 1980's the Clean Water Act was in the process of ramping up to full enforcement. Due to legal challenges, it took about 10 years for the EPA to come down hard on water pollution. I worked as a chemist for a plating company and knew that some VERY nasty stuff ( cyanide, hexavalent chrome, cadmium etc.) could be simply put down the drain. My company did something about the dumping even before there was a law banning it. As a result, we had a pretty sophisticated and costly waste treatment facility. Now comes the part where (unfair) competition comes to play. In the area, all but one plating company, when forced by law to do something about the water pollution. did something to come into compliance (some companies barely met the deadline). This one company refused to comply with the law. It used the competitive advantage of not having an expensive waste treatment system to put several conscientious plating companies out of business because of their low prices (they almost drove the company I worked for out of business). Finally, the EPA got a court order that this rogue company had to install pollution equipment of shut down. This company then had the gall to ask the local plating companies for technical help on how we solved the problem and were able to stay in business. Of course they got no cooperation because they were undercutting everyone with their low prices.
My point is this. Capitalism seems to reward the bad actors while driving the good companies out of business. Last week we discussed if rich people were moral or not. The rich become rich because capitalism favours their bad behaviour. They then lobby for (or against) laws that will give them even more clout so they can get away with even more bad behaviour without risking going to jail. Good as in moral and good as capitalism looks at it are two different things. In recent times, MBAs are taught that the only responsibility of a business is to make a profit. That was corrupted into meaning that morality (ethics), that got in the way of earning profits, was bad. Eventually it became "Greed is good!".
