We Humans Are Primitive

The Story

Hello! I am launching a topic, expecting an interesting discussion that will be useful during the minutes of free time that we can steal. Leaving aside personal problems, do you sometimes think about humanity, what awaits us, etc.? Don't you think that we are very primitive in general? For example, many people achieve personal success through fraud, are corrupt, and believe that happiness consists only in having power and being financially secure. And what exactly is the value of money? What is the difference between having 1 million and 2 million? I always thought that every item on the market should have a price cap. For example, one TV set cannot cost 50,000 and another 300. Or, for example, the underwear of a famous person can be auctioned for millions, and an ordinary underwear in the store can cost 5 leva. Really, if you have a lot of money, at some point their value is lost, because you do not buy something whose price is relative to the quality of the product. What a person needs, in my opinion, is to have a nice home, family, to be able to travel, to have a car, bicycles for children, etc., and most of all a vocation. Isn't it more important to know that we are doing something of value, and both working to earn a good income and what we do is for the benefit of others? I wonder where these vices come from, this world revolves around money, we create our own reality, and I wonder how many of these people are actually happy (those who have not discovered the meaning of vocation). Separately, there are other mediocre people who prefer to stand and do nothing. They, in turn, why do they do it How can you be more interested in watching movies all day instead of discovering things? I'm not saying I don't watch movies. On the contrary, I like to rest, rest for me is also a kind of parasitism, and I think that everyone needs it to rest their brain cells, but then comes the responsibility.

These are my arguments for calling people primitive, elementary. We are interested in some pleasures that do not really exist. Yes, if you have a yacht and everything you want, you 'enjoy', but it's not a real pleasure, it's not a real feeling. Oh, no doubt I will be happy to ride a yacht, but it's not about the experience itself, it's about the fact that it's not real when you're not real - because if you know you bought it thanks to your own work, not through fraud, you will enjoy it, that you have put so much effort, and that you have such qualities as to allow you this luxury. So by that logic, if all people were honest, the competition would be greater. because some people have more potential than others and talent. But no one is harmed, because everyone works what he can and gets what he deserves. I don't know, it's hard for me to imagine what the world would be like this way. And yet we have arranged it in such a way that we need workers (all possible jobs where hard, manual labor is required). Maybe in the future, when these activities (if) are performed by machines, maybe then people can only engage in intellectual labor. That is, I come to the point that we are primitive, because for our whole system to work, there must be some who work with the brain and others with the arms and legs. It is no coincidence that parents often tell their children to study so that they do not work later (which means to realize themselves so that they do not work physically). This whole system is also a kind of obstacle to realizing our potential (to think beyond what is around us). For 12 years a person goes to school without learning how to discover something on his own, the thought is not provoked to use this information in any other way. I exclude from this summary the few scientists who somehow succeed despite the system. Aren't we all set up in the same way, why can one and another can't? My theory is that everyone can learn something to a greater or lesser degree, but satisfactorily. Sure, everyone is better in one area than another, but if he directs his efforts to where he is good, he can work miracles. That way we could be more developed than we are now. Why are we primitive?
