The pursuit of wealth has led to the betterment of life for everybody. And an emerging merchant class was ultimately what historically helped societies break from autocracies.

The sum total of all human achievement, culture, art, and philosophy is pretty much rooted in the existence of wealth. And while excessive pursuit of wealth for wealth's sake can be a problem, it's also been something we've been dealing with ever since wealth became a thing in the first place, and it hasn't destroyed us yet. Very much the opposite.
So hard no, unless your "destroy us" is meant in both a metaphorical and individual sense. At which point the discussion sort of just descends into sophistry. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

I surely don't know. I spent my career working or contracting with non-profits, way too much pro-bono work, that's why I just barely get by now, supplement my retirement with little teaching gigs. Still, I did things I felt worth doing, and am often taken for 20 years younger than I am.
So, if the pursuit of wealth will kill us, I may be a good example of the opposite. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less ... Copied to Clipboard!

It certainly could. There seem to be a lot of cases of people pursuing wealth beyond what benefits them or anyone else. Wealth is a means to an ends, it's not the ends itself, and it feels like a lot of people lose sight of that.
As science goes further, eventually there won't be a place for money anymore, but thats probably a ways off. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) ... Copied to Clipboard!

i just realized something. sunny isn't necessarily a bad guy, or anything like that. he's just extremely basic. he's, like, the definition of a basic bitch, ok?
he comes up with these realizations in his head, probably while high or drunk, then proceeds to preach to a group of people who either already know these things, or have had these thoughts weeks, months, even years ago when the information was pertinent, ok? then he gets frustrated when his thoughts aren't seen as genius, and lashes out a bit by being rude or arrogant, seemingly out of nowhere, ok? it makes so much sense. i've kind of been disliking his posts because i thought he was just an old asshole... but it turns out he's just old and basic, ok? apologies, sunny, ok? --- ok? ...
