I don't think humans will ever truly learn. We might find the set of metagenes in the population that leads to narcissistic apathetic behaviour, and even as it is being villified as a personality disorder, a minority will happily select for it in their offspring to maintain a competitive edge over others.
It's baked in, advertising or not, is what I'm saying -- but also that despite the misinformation campaigns, those of us raised in the neoliberal creches do often wake up to see the better alternatives. People ultimately value peace and comfort, and if capitalism cannot provide that then people will naturally look elsewhere
