It doesn&#x27;t help that capitalism is so ingrained in our culture. Go to good school, get a worthwhile degree to make yourself a valuable commodity (don&#x27;t ever pretend you aren&#x27;t a commodity, that&#x27;s all labor is) and if you&#x27;re lucky you will live a good life. The thought of not having to WORK, to be BETTER than the competition just doesn&#x27;t make sense to a lot of people. While I just made a comment on reddit not more than an hour ago that humans are a naturally cooperative species, ultimately our base instincts are still to compete for resources to rise above our peers (even if we may help our own in the process).<p>It&#x27;s going to take a lot of social training to make people comfortable with the fact that we are rapidly approaching a post-scarcity world where the traditional model of growth-fueled capitalism falls apart (and it will happen, Earth can only sustain so many humans at a time).
