Usury

7. Statistically, we’ll be deviating towards a bigger self-serving bias, the sociopath.

O are we? You don’t want to be poor, do you?

You don’t want to be poor. So what will we, people do?

Maybe we should feed it instead of filling it.

AI Created: Artificial Intelligence talking about Usury

Me: Can you imagine that with usury, and usury unawareness society statistically will be deviating towards a bigger self-serving bias, the sociopath. Why?

ChatGPT:

Usury, the practice of charging excessive interest on loans, can have negative consequences for both individuals and society as a whole. The excessive interest can create a debt burden for individuals, making it difficult for them to repay the loan and potentially leading to financial instability. It can also lead to a concentration of wealth and power among a small group of lenders, which can create social and economic inequality.

Usury unawareness, meaning lack of understanding of the consequences and effects of usury, can make it even more dangerous as people may be unaware of the risks they are taking on and the potential negative consequences.

In terms of the link between usury and sociopathy, it is important to note that sociopathy, or antisocial personality disorder, is a complex mental condition characterized by a lack of empathy and disregard for the rights of others. While usury and its negative consequences could potentially contribute to an environment that fosters such behavior, it is not the sole cause of sociopathy.

Research on the relationship between economic inequality and social behavior suggests that when people face economic hardship, they may be more likely to act in self-serving ways, including becoming more competitive, dishonest, and less cooperative. However, it is important to note that this is a complex issue and there are many factors that influence individual behavior and social dynamics.
