Still less than 10 here. I must be a philistine.
I recognize what raw human desire, greed and ambition can drive people to do -- anything.
Human psychology is much more complex than that. The reason it tends towards this at the moment is very much a part of the environment of the social structure we find ourselves in. For example, if you look at many tribal systems, you find that people tend to be much more co-operative, with a gift economy being the main means of exchange of value.
