Good listen as always 😁 however I’ve just read a book that contradicts a few of your points such as “human have an innate disposition towards rivalry” and “it’s inevitable that some form of inequality will result, regardless of capitalism”.

It speaks about how it’s not in human nature to be materialistic and competitive, and that it was the introduction of agriculture and farming that started bringing a land-possession mindset. And speaking in terms of the entire human history, it’s not that long ago. The growth of agriculture catapulted our advancement, however the speed that it’s been done in hasn’t allowed us to catch up in an evolutionary way.

I would 100% recommend that you give it a read! I think you’d really enjoy the message and it’s a good read: Humankind by Rutger Bregman
