I do think that our current social system rewards the wrong things and drives human evolution in the wrong direction. Traits like lying, cheating and hypocrisy are rewarded evolutionarily because they help people to accumulate more resources and produce more offspring; this works at both the genetic and environmental level. The good news is that predators cannot exist without the prey to sustain them so there should always be more prey than predators. The solution to the problem is decentralization of wealth; otherwise power becomes too concentrated in the hands of predators and it decreases their reliance on prey.
