Nah it’s just that the socio-economic system we’re stuck with that literally incentivizes ghoulish behavior that causes suffering. Change the system, change humanity.

I think you may have cause and effect inverted.

Well yes, ghouls were the ones who invented capitalism, but before that we had feudalism, which was even more ghoulish - but guess what, we don’t go around drawing and quartering criminals anymore, so it looks like I’m right. Change the system, change humanity.

Nah, we just change the methods, the underlying mechanism is the same. For example, you need to win so you wrote "looks like I'm right", instead of clobbering me. But that innate human need to triumph over the other is still there.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
