I think Greed is a misused term, Or at least over used. People say that I am greedy because I do not want to support people who do not want to work. I do not feel compelled to try and assist someone who is not trying. I do not mind giving leg ups though.
Greed is not me wanting to hord money for future generations of my kin. In an attempt to make their lives easier. My definition of greed is the taking of money at any costs.
But back on topic. Is technology the way to improve the human condition. Does each advancement really improve the quality of life. Did the car and the TV really make the world a better place.
Yes there is less famine in developed nations. But I have seen shows on amazon tribes barely touched by modern day. If you live in the right part of the world life aint too bad without technology. This one tribe I saw they smiled and laughed and had hours of free time each day. But you had the satisfaction of hunting the local game and making your own shelter. I may be nastalgic or unrealistic but some times I think of pulling up stakes and moving away from the world to a equatorial location where food falls from the trees. I would like penicillin though and a few other modern conviniences machette and such.
Instead of typing here and figuring how to handle the traffic the company predicts with out them providing any capital to build the cellular networl out. I could be eeking a living from the earth.
Not that it would be easy but tribal living has a close nit reliance on other hard working individuals for the common goal. But there probably will never be an intel or enterprise in a world of tribal existance.
