"We often hear about Capitalism’s contradictions, but I think the most tragic one is that we teach children pro-social behaviors: to share, to be kind, to cooperate, and to work together. We try to raise them to be decent human beings.
But then, when they grow up, they are rewarded for outcompeting others, being cutthroat and ruthless in the workplace, and if they achieve wealth and power, they are often rewarded for many anti-social behaviors.
Police can ruin lives just by doing their jobs. Landlords can make us homeless just by evicting. An employer might fire you if it’s good for the bottom line. It seems that Capitalism wants us to be decent as children but then expects us to be corrupt and awful to each other as adults. Perhaps a system that delivers on the potential of that pro-social behavior we are taught as kids is a better system than the one we live under."

You are a good person, thank you for being pro-social!
