I feel that stupid is too easy an answer, especially when the stupid was manufactured, or at the very least the cure was withheld. There is a deeper part of human nature at play, greed is close but its more nuanced, it’s featured in the “tragedy of the commons” and against the tide even those who would act righteously in their own life would be replaced and utterly destroyed by the clawing hands of everyone else.
