Well if you want books about moral decay just read the ones that inspired true detective.

Morality is all a sharade is pretty bs.
There is no justification for morality based on logic alone, but when you consider how our brain gives us pleasure, joy, etc... there is no need for a justification outside of our biological needs.

Technological progress is pretty easy to understand when you realize that it requires vice as fuel. Vice is common among humans by default, thus giving the initial ground for technology to develop as it has, and in turn technological societies select for vice, in turn leading to more fuel for technological development. In short, a (virtuous) human does not need technology and thus does not pursue it; a vice ridden one *thinks* he needs it and thus pursues it (among other things, of course, although the other things do not have the selecting force of technology nor the ability to spread vice among others)

you can never be assured that your goods and services are entirely free from exploitation, even if we stick to exploitation of the not universally accepted kind (ie wage slavery)

for instance, you could buy a cellphone designed and manufactured domestically. chances are there's no way for you to even tell where the lithium in its battery was mined. as a matter of fact, many enterprises completely dedicated to the practice of procuring materials adequately (for instance, diamonds) have been caught outright fucking lying about it : https://thenextweb.com/insider/2017/06/17/shady-online-diamond-dealer-proves-conflict-free-is-no-guarantee/

lastly, the power of ethics in regulating the purchasing behavior of individuals is extremely weak in comparison to the value propositions offered by larger, less scrupulous businesses who can operate on lower costs and larger scales. since monopolies are a natural product of markets, all your "ethical" and "local" vendors will simply be absorbed or go out of business, leaving only the big businesses whose dicks you will have no choice but to choke on

Yes, and the generations after them will be much happier and living the way people are supposed to. If we got rid of the factory farming of meat, and all went vegan, vegiterian or ate meat from small farms the amount of livestock animals would fall drastically, but the ones who do survive would be living much better lives. You can't argue that factory farming is good for animals because it creates more animals, just how you can't argue civilisation is good because it creates more humans.

Symbology has caused the way we think about everything to be removed from pure thought, which is what we primarily had before language.

Time for example is now thought of as a linear progression, with us being in the present, the future coming towards us, and the past being something that has gone. However this is only become the case since we started measuring time and days. Many hunter gatherer tribes today see time as all encompassing, the past and future is all occurring at the same time. Time isn't a real, tangible thing, but measurement has convinced our minds it is and we can't go back.

Language itself corrupts pure thought. Take looking at a lake with tree's and horses: without language you can see this and perceive it in it's entirety for what it is in pure thought, but because of language we can't help but perceive it in words and grammar, which we didn't create and don't have complete control over. Looking at a sunset can cause you not have the right words to describe it, so you simply say it's beautiful or nice, this is because we aren't able to see it and think of it in pure, language-less thought.

There are other examples of symbolism tainting thought, such as counting and the creation of numbers. Also, hunter gatherers, Cro-Magnon and proto-humans all managed to communicate just fine and live in tribal bands without the need for language, so it isn't a necessity for humans to do, we was language-less longer than we have had language.

I mean I live in a bay area town where the average home sells for over a million, so if you count that then pretty much everyone here and at work (aside from people who commute and do stuff like janitorial shit). For people that have over 2 million I personally know about 5, and 2 of those are first generation immigrants that came here without a lot of money.

Besides myself, around 30 who have gone through their finances with me, including 2 billionaires. I know some others who I suspect are rich but I dont actually know. Most of them came from working and middle class background, although both billionaires did inherit their fortune. Becoming a billionaire is almost unachievable, but it is true that anyone (in the first world) can become a millionaire. However, most people do not make decisions that are conducive towards building wealth (especially as a young student and when choosing their career.) Many people cannot cope with the fact that it was their own poor to mediocre decisions that led them to their present circumstances and blame the system and those who succeed within it for their failure to thrive. The only thing that stopped you from pursuing the path that I did was you, I am hardly an exceptional person.

people don't disclose this sort of information to everyone so it's likely we all know a couple without realizing it. known anyone who two or three houses?

a fuckton of upper-middle-class boomers probably have over a million dollars in assets just from a lifetime of building equity and making prudent investments. if these boomers die then there's a good chance their 1-to-3 children will become millionaires as well, either instantly or down the line. then there's tech industry people who start making six figures in their twenties. it's not rare or impressive.

this notion that "anyone" can become a milionnaire, however, is dumb liberal bullshit. it's mostly accessible to well-to-do white people.

What's your point? I wasn't raised to survive in a hunter gatherer world so of course I wouldn't be able to survive. But if I was born into it I would, just like the people who lived in them for hundreds of thousands of years.

Hunter Gatherers still only worked 4 hours a day though, now get back to your shift wagie.
