It would be easy if greed was just about the "bad" stuff. It's why we can't shift human consciousness, as if it's one giant thing. We're not too stupid either. If anything, we're too clever. There's no limit that we don't find a way around. Well, not no limit, but a lot of them.

Why climb the mountain? Because it's there.
