Opposites attract.

Yeah, I’m with Rebecca Scott3 on this one—realizing the truth is the only way things actually shift. But even then, people cling to their old ways because they're terrified of change, even when there's something new burning inside them. Honestly, most problems stem from that exact fear of breaking away from the status quo.

That’s your take, Zachary Mendoza2? I still don't see it your way.

I’d argue it all comes down to brain chemistry. Men and women are wired differently, but if we're looking at efficiency—say, a female serial killer compared to a male one—the woman often comes out on top. It’s just that those types of women are socialized to master that kind of work from a very young age.

In my view, these are merely frameworks. A system itself is neither good nor evil. It is the individuals within it who possess character. There is no such thing as "fair distribution" if the people themselves aren't improved first. Since humans are inherently flawed—slow to learn and quick to forget—and since capitalism thrives on selfishness as its core value, my advice is this: acquire influence so you can provide for yourself and your loved ones. As for a global spiritual awakening or a more equitable society, forget it. Perhaps in another lifetime, or several generations from now. Today's generation won't make it happen. 😳

I really can't agree that capitalism is in charge simply because of the will of the people. From the rise of television to this very moment, so much has been manipulated to keep things this way.

If we all just lived in tiny little communities and traded goods instead of using actual money, I bet there wouldn't be nearly as many wealthy people out there.
