You Are Living In An Economic Fairy Tale

Children's stories and blockbuster films consistently depict villains driven by greed and power, reflecting a fundamental truth about the corrupting influence of authority. Psychological research confirms this narrative, demonstrating that wealth and power systematically impair empathy, perspective-taking, and emotional judgment by breaking the feedback loops that typically hold individuals accountable for their actions. While society often dismisses these films as mere entertainment or naive fairy tales, they function as essential "neurological data" that accurately map the dangers of unchecked power. Humans possess an extraordinary capacity to transform shared fictions into reality, yet we frequently abandon the moral clarity found in these stories once we enter the "real world." Embracing these narratives as practical guides rather than childish fantasies offers a necessary framework for collective action and the moral evolution of civilization.
