AI Created: Artificial Intelligence talking about Usury.

Me: Extreme individualism, solipsism. Is there a link to be found with usury and the unawareness of the phenomenon?

ChatGPT (jan23):

It is possible that there could be a link between extreme individualism and usury, as the focus on accumulating wealth and financial gain can lead to a prioritization of one’s own individual needs and desires over the needs and well-being of others. Additionally, the lack of awareness or understanding of the negative effects of usury on society as a whole may contribute to a self-centered perspective that prioritizes personal financial gain over collective well-being. However, it is worth noting that this is a complex issue with multiple factors at play, and more research would be needed to fully understand any potential connections.
