We take what we want and more, not what we need.

Humans, after first achieving sentience, weren't really assholes. They survived, with little to no luxary. Opposite of today, basically. IMO, humans weren't assholes, not good nor evil. Human behavior is what it is, primitive, why humans do such incredibly stupid and destructive things to each other? Can those tendencies be "cured?" It would seem they could definitely be reduced, if not eliminated. There's nothing to cure.

We have models of large groups of humans in previous kingdoms & Empires that do not seem to have the urge to exterminate other humans. The problem is tribalism; and we're a long way from finding a way to eliminate it.
