    Sounds a bit Malthusian.

    Human beings differ from other animals in that we have language and the capacity to learn and develop culture.

    Capitalism is a system that enforces greed and selfishness. Those values aren’t inherent to human beings. They’re just what we’ve been taught to live under in order to survive.

    But there are other ways of being and living. We can learn to live in sustainable ways, and to live in cooperation with each other instead of competition.
