    And the reason they hate those things. Is that because in a short-term it impacts their real profits.

    Greed is always a short-term outlook. No immoral greedy person ever looked at something and said, boy if I just made society better we as a whole would benefit a whole lot more. It’s always, give it to me. Give it to me naooooooow!

      Yeah. If they weren’t so evolutionarily maladaptive, they could easily have provided for their offspring for the foreseeable future of the species in a way that would be be resilient to societal and environmental changes. It really is past time that this mental illness is studied and characterized.
