I think it is true but we are not there yet. We are still in societal oligrarchy atraction. Mainly due to Powergreed and Egoism, which is in fact a human nature. Especially at societal scale we are at. I think star trek utopia regarding the first directive, which is nicely explained in orville (a kind of fanmade spinoff) is a powerful explanation for why that is the case. There they explained in the last episode why they have the first directive (which is called different there). The first directive says that higher societies should not interveine with their technologies or philosophies to a developing society (like we are for example). In orville they have this directive due to observation with their first society where they didn't follow that directive yet. They gave them food replicators, so that everyone can use it but powergreedy individuals took it for themselves and abused their power they gained from it (often the government themselves). In turn this ended in a nuclear war for reaources that are focused on the government individuals and the society died. We are no different and I would expect we will act the same. As long as we don't get out of the oligarchy attractor point (mathematically speaking) we are kinda doomed. Star trek for example is a working socialism, which came from solidarism and technical advancements, which made resource allocation easier but "magically" they had the right mindset to not be powergreedy as a society, which we still need to get to somehow.

You saw we a lot in your comment, but its a certain kind of person that is attracted to money and power. Not everyone.
Many would be completely fine to have enough money for a good life without luxary. The endless greed is not that common. It's a mental disorder.
Why is this on shitpost, as a cross post from /c/shit? Lmao
I didn't spend time on this post. Thus, it's an obvious shitpost.
Furthermore, I could argue that the purest form of shitposts is famous people quotes as it does not require much effort to create.
Low effort isnt the only criteria for a shitpost. A shitpost must also be OC, otherwise it's just a common repost. The only time a repost counts as a shitpost is when you're reposting a shitpost.
I want to object even further on what qualifies a shitpost
Don't tell that to tankies. They'll just accuse you of being a Liberal.
