The science of greed | Paul K. Piff | TEDxMarin

The Science of Greed : Why the Ideology of self interest could be the downfall of the American Dream. Wealth may seem like mostly an unmitigated good, yet it also has significant costs. My research reveals the pernicious effects of inequality and why something must be done about them...before it's too late.
Paul K. Piff is a social psychologist and research scientist in the Psychology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. He holds a B.A. in Psychology from Reed College and a Ph.D. in Psychology from UC Berkeley.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

    An interesting observation for me was when a table was full of food, and there was only only dish that was specifically cooked and served for me. Yet one of the people at the lunch chose to eat what I had been given, whilst I couldn't eat what else was the on table. That revealed so much about that person's heart and for sure it is about the heart, and with some people it doesn't matter how much you give them, they will still desire what someone has and think it is their right to take it.

The model is called "supply side economics" and has its advantages and disadvantages, you can say it wont work but at least learn what its called and what the theory is. You might just prove your self right, but at the cost of allowing yourself to be convinced otherwise. The risk is worth the reward.

    Interesting view... heres some fun insight for ya. try this... imagine addiction causes and contributing factors like a pie chart/pizza. Over 3/4 of the slices are mental health related ranging from personality disorders, trauma/abuse/anxiety disorders, mood disorders, socialistic problems, and the reality of people with mental health problems are still ostracized/stigmatized socially and even by doctors. Now the smaller portion/slices are the physiological part of addiction like the withdrawl and physical need. Another thing is addiction will eventually bring to the surface for all to see; ignored, suppressed, or previously undiagnosed mental illnesses or mental health issues. A person can be addicted to things besides narcotics, pot, and so forth that dont have the physiological addiction portion and this is due to the fact addiction is first and foremost a mental health problem, a way of pushing through/coping when they are ready to throw in the towel so to speak. The vast majority of people who experiment with illegal drugs or occasionally take them, drink alcohol, or prescribed a narcotic for pain and so forth never have or develope an addiction problem.

    @@jorgecrawford7419 What do you mean it's not in our biology? All humans have the power to be empathetic and considerate towards others, and that just shows how we have evolved over time. We aren't living among cavemen anymore. Also, your comment implies that you aren't even going to try to find a solution for decreasing the enormous amount of greed in this world, and that makes you a part of the problem. The solution is really quite simple. Increase your level of empathy and be nice to everyone that you meet. Practice leaving some for others instead of taking all. If everyone did exactly this, we would be moving further away from caveman days. Of course there will be greedy people that want to ruin it for everyone else, but we have the power to confront them and show them the power of empathy. That is all I have to say about that.

    It's a good thing linearity (if that's a word....) doesn't exist in nature; straight lines, constants, etcetera. We may like to think they exist, they can or they should - and attitudes may be fixed in a belief that constancy exists, can exist or should - but anyone who thinks that will suffer when they realize that life doesn't work that way.

    Bill Gates invested 600.000$ in the company that I work at, wich is a highly capitalistic setup. At the time it pays of for us because of the tips, but technically we carry crates under time pressure at minimum wage. It's breaking our bones and we have to come earlier to load the cars and don't get paid for it. That's how Mr Gates does it, he sources compassion and generosity out, to the customers. Needless to say that 50-60% of the people don't give us anything while the delivery is free for them. I have never worked so hard in my life!

    In Denmark we had the situation going on where people's holiday earned money where locked so they couldn't get them unless the government open them for them. And as denmark opened up again after Corona lockdown the government chose to open their holiday money to get the Danish economy going strong again, and while they got their money, people who dont have jobs got $100 for free to support the Danish economy. The ones who have job and got their holiday money, started complaining about the poor got money too. And the poor who got the $100 complained about getting money they did not ask for. And it was all for supporting the danish economy

    So I use to value work and the money it made, Then I valued the freedom it bought and the higher levels of satisfaction that came with it. But Now... I am really starting to reject the conscious phase of living. So, I am looking forward to each night going to dream. Not sleep, but that dreaming is really quite fascinating. Like my private yet unknown and unpredictable and always changing world. The Australian Aboriginal People has a very elaborate Dream World as part of their culture. So again another what seems to be a very technologically weak society being dominated by the Europeans, only to find that the Europeans, the British colonists pretty much are only seeing one facet of the world. And they miss again the Dream World. Or in India, the Spiritual world. So maybe individual greed is weak and Greedy Societies are inherently weak. They can only survive if they take. Eventually they run out of steam. And then they fall back to an earlier simpler state.

    Great video, thanks for sharing. To share a thought of my own, all people should already know about the science of greed, we can see if we look and many of us have heard it in the Gospels. The Gospels and Ten Commandments match the findings in this video point for point. It's a case of scientific reality matching Christian reality; they lend validation to each other. Thanks Paul for the presentation and and the hard work that went into it.

    In a letter addressed to Queen Victoria over a century ago, and employing an analogy that points to the one model holding convincing promise for the organization of a planetary society, Bahá'u'lláh compared the world to the human body. There is, indeed, no other model in phenomenal existence to which we can reasonably look. Human society is composed not of a mass of merely differentiated cells but of associations of individuals, each one of whom is endowed with intelligence and will; nevertheless, the modes of operation that characterize man's biological nature illustrate fundamental principles of existence. Chief among these is that of unity in diversity. Paradoxically, it is precisely the wholeness and complexity of the order constituting the human body -- and the perfect integration into it of the body's cells -- that permit the full realization of the distinctive capacities inherent in each of these component elements. No cell lives apart from the body, whether in contributing to its functioning or in deriving its share from the well-being of the whole. The physical well-being thus achieved finds its purpose in making possible the expression of human consciousness; that is to say, the purpose of biological development transcends the mere existence of the body and its parts.

    Flying Hippo Yes, Society has Cancer (analogically). Man turns on man, to fight each other rather than to fight the cancer. Banks and their CEO's with massive bouts of control fraud. What does America really have other than a big army that they use to bully other countries with, to provoke and steal resources. America is not the be all and end all, in fact majority of Americans have totally wrong knowledge. Take the size of America for instance. On the world map it looks as though Greenland and america are bigger than Africa when in actual fact Greenland is 14 times smaller than Africa and America can fit into just North Africa, adding the UK Japan, etc and the land mass of those combined is still not close to the size of Africa. Ignorance and greed are causing massive appearances of cancer and the cure is being willfully ignored.

Support your smaller and local businesses and you will start seeing a shift in both social issues and redistribute power to the people which hopefully would reflect a greater sense of balance in decisions made for the people!
