There you go, projecting again. Or maybe it's just sour grapes on your
part.
Not everyone is as selfish, venal and materialistic as you appear to be.
Many of us live simply so that others my simply live. I certainly do. You
should, too.
Also, I take it you've never heard of the famous biologist, philosopher
and anarchist revolutionary Peter Kropotkin, who was born a Prince of the
House of Romanov. He worked for meager pay as a research scientist, living
in a cabin in Siberia, studing ornithology when he could have been
partying in the palace or cruising on the family yacht. He dedicated his
entire life to science and social justice. He never once cashed in on his
family conections.
Much of his philosophical thought is contained in the famous Mutual Aid
(1902), which explains the way his theories work. In being in opposition
to Darwinism, which stressed competition and conflict for survival and
regeneration, Kropotkin proposed the idea that cooperation was the chief
factor in the evolution and success of the species. This idea was based on
his scientific studies of Siberia conducted in the 1860's, where he
observed that sociability was dominant feature at every level of the
animal world. Especially among humans, cooperation was the rule rather
than the exception. In human societies, the way cooperation was undertaken
among humans had evolved, generally organized into five stages: primitive
tribe, peasant village, medieval commune, and finally, modern social/trade
association (Red Cross, trade unions, etc.). Even after the rise of
bureaucratic government, people still maintained some sort of localized
cooperation among themselves. The trend of modern history, therefore, was
going back towards decentralized, nonpolitical, and cooperative society.
In such an environment, men could develop their "creative faculties"
without inteference from rulers, religious leaders, or soldiers.
