Humans really are their own worst enemy. We desire things that aren't good for us nor our species in the long run

As an anti-capitalist it's pretty easy to point out that own destruction of our long-term viability didn't take place until capitalism.

I'd argue the issue isn't human nature, it's profit motive. Peasant never had to work more than they needed to in order to get by and owned what they made. The lord just took a tax.

Modern workers would be worked 24 hours a day if it was physically possible because profit means there is no ceiling on how much 'use' a boss can get out of a worker. We don't keep what we make, our boss takes it all and gives us a wage.

The result is extracting as much capital out of labour and the planet itself as possible at all times. It fucks us long-term but if someone is making money, that's the most important thing.

Like the fact we fill warehouses with food and then throw it out if it doesn't sell fast enough while people starve is -insane-. Yet that's capitalism at its most efficient.

Follow God's word and you will be enlightened on how to behave accordingly.
