If humanity survives, I honestly think the greed will (and should now) be considered a mental illness.

Jesus, give me $5 million dollars, and I'd live on it for the rest of my life. That'd be 0.01% of his net worth, and I'd be so happy. I think many of us would.

But these people just want more. And more. They're psychotic, and they're ruining the world. We all know what they deserve.

    I honestly think the greed will (and should now) be considered a mental illness.

    At that point it would just be excusing bad behaviour, would it not? I wouldn't say putting it on the same level as mental illness is fair, either. People with mental illnesses don't want to be mentally ill. On the other hand, greed is a trait that directly shows itself in a person's decisions. You can choose to be greedy, you can't choose to have, say, arachnophobia.

    That’s not greed though. I’ll say it again but more explicitly: Greed is not an illness, it’s a kind of behaviour that anyone can exhibit through their actions. It doesn’t matter whether they’re an average person or someone with an anti-social disorder, that applies regardless.
