But the problem is not capitalism

I like to blame everything on capitalism - addiction of endlessly scrolling through Instagram Reels : capitalism, uninstalling Instagram to "protect my peace" but instead scrolling through Facebook Reels: capitalism, climate change: capitalism, my inability to find new friends: capitalism, bad job market: capitalism, tech bros and zillionaires with big income inequality: capitalism, no time for hobbies: capitalism, people buying too many stupid stuff: capitalism. wait I should stop now but you get the riff. While I like to blame everything of capitalism, I know it's not just capitalism everything that's "wrong" with the world is just the (outcome/reflection) of human nature. Human nature isn't entirely good on its whole. It has both good and bad parts. Capitalism is just conducive to all the parts. But at a scale and in a globalized way. You see, we are deeply unsettled with stillness. We romanticize being in calm and pristine nature not because it's in accessible but because most of us can't withstand that stillness for a long time despite it's Serenity. We just can't sit still. Our body needs continuous movement, our minds will keep bubbling with thoughts (all kinds of thoughts: thought don't discriminate only our consciousness and the nervous system do). The beauty of capitalism is that it is super conducive of catering to ONE's needs given that ONE has the capital. But given that we live in a deeply interconnected world, One's desires could infringe on the well-being of other's. okay now my mind is sidetracking as it always does. Let's come back to the main issue of contention - my argument is that Capitalism is not the problem. We will have similar problems even if other Socio-economic philosophies such as Communism is the mainstream. I argue that the issue is the nature of the mind and the Scheningans that it has to do to feel secure and to be at ease. Several scholars have tried theorising this nature of the mind by connecting to the evolutionary needs of a human being. Their basic point is that since the resources were limited during caveman times and the living conditions were precarious, one's survival was dependent on the value that the person added to the cave people group or community (mean group size = 10. Sd = 4 j.k. idk) they were part of. So to be 'Secure', one has to be little more valuable than Others in the same group. This could be in terms of whether they are stronger, has more skills, looks nicer. Basically anything that could be of value when it comes to the decision one who the group is willing to sacrifice to when they they to sacrifice a person to the lion king or the Sun god. We have come a long way now where we have developed good technologies that our. Survival need not depend on the 'tangible' value that we add to the groups that we are part of. But see the modem Society where we are aware of the whole big world and so many people is only ✗ ✗ years old but we were part of the Cave people group for ✗ × years. so it is that our brains are wired to constantly do something of value to feel secure. My theory (I am sure someone else have already theorised this. Stupid smart humans. In this article, this is my theory :P)) is that capitalism addresses these deep human needs of the mind in a superficial and material way by not really addressing the core issue.

But the problem is that it could get worse when those bad parts of the human nature is amplified by the
