we are at our heart immensely competitive. violent for most of our history cannibal peer ranked apes, we will absolutely look to eff' each other over in any system, again you need to realize the system we live in is wholly a reflection of us, the system didnt create itself, we created it, and we have had many many chances to create something different, every revolution, every commune or weird church group that goes off to live in the boonies could become a paradise on earth with no greed or cruelty and they all become #### shows of greed, power trips and sexual abuse.
