    But I’d argue that capitalism is just the inevitable epitome of us rewarding the worst of us.

    Even in socialism the dark triad gets further.

    Altruism being advantageous in our early survival makes sense, yes. But, whatever the 4% always came up with in every period, won. Purely evolutionary speaking, it might even be better for survival nowadays than altruism would be.

    Your point, that there always more basically good than evil people, might be true (and I wish it would be), but the world sucks in every place anywhere. Just to a different level. So it kinda means nothing when the 96% just watch or ignore the work of the 4%.
