It is not true that all societies would be equally corrupt, fraudulent or dishonest. They differ due to laws differing, law enforcement differing and culture differing.
This is a cynical take that frankly I find very grating and pointless. “Life’s hard nothing we can do about it.” Just hand waving it away and deciding there’s noting that can be done when there’s plenty we can do, as we have done since we first organized into groups.
>Don't think there's anything that can or should be done about it. This is how it's always been and this how it will always be: it's fundamental to humanity.
Consumer protection laws exist. Laws against murder, stealing, etc. exist. Would you agree we have fewer people taken advantage of and fewer people murdered and stolen from as as a result?
As for saying we shouldn’t do anything…that I can’t make heads or tails of. You want the world to be cutthroat? By choice?
