The laws of economics are rooted in human psychology.
Human psychology is a product of evolution, right; because if the humans that created the 2010 "civilization" on planet earth did not evolve, then how all of this happen?
So what does evolution do?
Evolution stands at the finish line and it declares whatever species or dna cluster to get there first to be the winner. In other words, evolution is biology's Monday morning quarterback. Evolution does not plan ahead.
Because the definition of evolution and "survival" of the fittest is so fatalistic, there is no way humans can ever escape evolution. Nonetheless, humans have evolved to the point where they can exercise awareness of evolution and survival of the fittest and begin to make conscious decisions about where the human species is headed.
A relatively small number of humans on the planet are behaving in just the way they have been programmed by hundreds of thousands of successful evolution of the species. In pure biological terms, this is very successful, but in terms of overall happiness on the planet, it is a miserable failure.
