Personally, I don't see much light at the end of the tunnel?
This greed seems cool in some circles--which I can't comprehend. It is not cool in my world. I feel morality is lacking? I don't know how to install morality. I do know this "Just because it's legal, doesn't make it moral" said by a deceased friend of mine.
Idk, but longer term I'd think a co-operative approach would make more sense, and stop destroying the planet for elfish short-term gains.
Crazy idea though. Can't have anything compete with those beautiful oil, fracking, banking, warring people though - they mean well! I mean, its just short term, we'll just cut down all the forests, ruin all the topsoil, drill all the oil, frack all the rocks and lpg, and ... well, we don't care, go fuck yourselves, we made money, and we don't care about children or grandchildren. Cya.
I guess Wolf of Wall St puts that behaviour on a bit of a pedestal. I personally don't know anyone that is that kind of a prick, but presumably they exist.
I think we all know what is selfish, and what is greedy. Some will choose to ignore it though, and/or justify it.
