      It’s a bit extreme, but I say we kill all billionaires and then fairly redistribute their cash and see what happens.
      If there’s no real change in greed then kill the top 0.1% of wealth hoarders and see what happens.

      At some point the greed will have to stop.

      Bioengineer some humans to not be greedy.

      Some humans because you can opt out, or you can choose it for your designer baby. Then there is a control and an experimental group.

      The mad scientist in me is dying to see whether behaviors with moral connotations (greed) confer an advantage for survival.
