Conflict, Inequality, And Social depravity.

[Mr Hyde]

I believe humanity thrives on conflict, social depravity, inequality, malice, violence, segregation, and seperatism which is one of the reason why we as a species have never been able to give it up as every historical generation passes within time.

Some may even say that technology and innovation advances through the interface of conflict.

Conflict of interests and greed has proven itself many times through history to be the prime mover of innovation.

Anybody else have any thoughts on this issue?

I would represent it with the imagery and representation of this:

well, though i do not want to, i must admit that your description of the capitalist system of our society is on the whole accurate...sadly...

Ofcourse its all true lol. Capitalism is based around money, power and false institutions.

Humanity does thrive under conflict, social depravity, inequality, malice, violence, segregation, and seperatism. Although this is all brought about by scarcity in resources. Scarcity leads to profit for businesses, which leads to power. Scarcity is then created in our economy for all resources, so that the rich can become richer.

Modern money mechanics are based on banks giving out loans to the everyday joe. When a bank gives out a loan, it does so with interest. So the amount needed to repay the loan is always the principal+interest, and only the principal is in the current money supply. This gives our global economy a disequilibrium, because the amount needed to pay back always exceeds the amount of money in circulation, resulting in an inevitable debt. This debt then leads us to become highly competetive as we need to work 40 hour weeks for minimal resources so that our families can have the basics of resources. This is a form of economic slavery.

you could desrcibe capitalism like an artificial hierarchical pyramid or you could make a depiction of it that is far more symbiotic and natural. its a matter of perspective.

take this fight club quote for instance:

"The worker bees can leave.
The drones can fly away.
The queen is their slave. ...
