Hoarding is driven by scarcity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 1 point 10 hours ago (2 children) That's perfect honestly, thank you. I think hoarding is also driven by scarcity, but fear as well. And that even if we eliminated scarcity, some people would still feel compelled to hoarde. We just have to agree to disagree here, at least that's where I'm at. Maybe if we got rid of scarcity nobody would feel the need to hoarde, but I'm not so sure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 point 3 hours ago If humans can be conditioned to fear and greed, they can be re-conditioned to relative security and sharing. It would take reconditioning societies and economic models, first. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 point 10 hours ago We can see already that people do not tend to hoard that which isn't scarce, and further even if someone tried, we do not need to allow it. permalink fedilink source parent
