      ambition is great, I love ambition (like getting better at stuff and having hobbies and become one of the best in the world at something)

      what’s wrong is monetary ambition at the cost of the community

      But that would mean changing basic human nature. It would be great to be able to enjoy life without the constant worry about being able to support yourself and live a decent lifestyle. But since we can’t change human nature, everyone would have to be drugged some how to hold you in check. There was a movie about something like this “Equilibrium”

        Human nature is quite literally to cooperate to survive, not compete. Competition is literally the opposite of how hominids evolved. It’s genuinely a terrible strategy.
