Most of humanity’s problems exist not because they’re inherent, it’s because for 1000 generations we’ve been building up self-reinforcing social structures that have entered the end stage. Where everything is squeezed for profit and the real value of it is drained away
We like to do things together. We’re wired for it. With unlimited time and resources, why would we not live near and visit our favorite people? Why would we not explore the world around us? Why would we not work to make life nicer? Why would we not reach out to others who fall through the cracks and find themselves isolated?
