Reply to comment by 16161as in We've all heard the trope that to be a billionaire you essentially have to be a sociopath; Could we cure that? Is there hope? by AdditionalPizza

I agree, but if the rich get things first, they could be "model" humans first. And that could inspire them to share.

While there is certainly an overwhelming amount of billionaires who could contribute more meaningfully to society, I think more focus should be on how we’re going to be competitive with rising powers like China and their highly controversial world views.

I agree that if anyone needs more empathy, it’s world leaders because they directly influence the direction of a country.

That's definitely a concern, but as I understand it countries like China aren't currently capable of producing the GPU's required for large transformers on their own.

But one concern doesn't mean other concerns should be on the back burner. A medical breakthrough capable of curing all, would definitely shake the world for the better.
