IMO, we stopped evolving in a positive way once we left the hunter gatherer lifestyle
ownership didn't appear to be much of an issue prior to agriculture - after it, the poop hit the fan with large organised warfare
human cooperation worked well before hand - but after
the cooperation was harnessed by greed - individuals protecting their property - wealth
the whole way through - cooperation was the tool to progress -
but, the cooperative characteristics of humans were used against them by individuals harnessing that cooperation
that we know espouse individualism and independence to me - works against everything in human nature that is good.
America is the standout cancer of it. Every person for themselves.
they even invented terms for it - for the 'con' ------ one such is
what's the 'angle' ----------- the 'angle' being that someone must have a self serving individual motive
a totally different kind of societal flavour to many (not all) European societies - where people want to do things - so they can all have better lives and a better society
America is a standout --------- Australia has the same dinner table values - we want the kids to be educated so they can get a better job - which means a bigger pay -which means they can get a bigger house so they can fill it with more useless crap -
there is no thought to nation or society - same as America
Humans progress via cooperation - be it good or bad
humans CANNOT progress in any way shape or form with individualism
it is against the very fabric of the species ------ we cannot survive alone.
We worked it out way way way prior to the stone age.
Lately, we've lost the lesson
