Greed is usually treated as a moral failing — but what if it were approached like a mental health condition? In this episode, George Monty examines greed through the lens of psychology, ethics, and social systems.
From personal behavior to economic systems, this conversation explores whether reframing greed as a condition could open new pathways for personal growth, societal responsibility, and collective healing.
In this episode:
- Parallels between greed and depression as human conditions
- Psychological, social, and cultural factors influencing greed
- Rethinking ethics, accountability, and intervention
- How compassion and awareness could transform behavior
- Implications for economics, governance, and society

Speaker 0 (0s): You're talking to the Rolex, wearing a jet flying that have a gun, and I would have a hard time holding these alligators. Well, well, wow.
Speaker 1 (25s): Welcome back ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2 (29s): Thank you for taking a minute to come back and hang out. Spend some time with me. Hope your days go. Well, all of a sun is shining. I hope the birds are singing all. If you looked in the mirror and were like, man, I'm a good looking son, have a gun. You know what? We should talk about what I was thinking about. How about new drugs? Right? I remember that old song. I think we, as a society need new drugs,
Speaker 1 (1m 1s): Right? Like, let
Speaker 2 (1m 3s): Me, let me just run you through my thought process for a moment. I was thinking about the potential for the Corona virus. Let's just pretend because it's true that the virus was made in a lab and they've used this CRISPR technology to go in and cut sections of the ACTG that match up with the other ACTG cheese.
And they have engineered this virus to go and do things. They have created a spike protein, and they have created the RNA and chances are, it's probably a, it is probably bio warfare. Right? Okay. I know, I know everyone's sick and tired of talking about COVID me too, but it's imperative that I say that part.
Speaker 1 (2m 6s): If, if we
Speaker 2 (2m 8s): Can engineer a virus to kill people and spend trillions of dollars of our own money, right? Because that's where those viruses come from. We as the taxpayers give our tax money to the government who gives it to these black op projects and they make these killer viruses. If it's possible to make a virus that kills people, shouldn't it also be possible to make a virus that makes people more awesome.
Speaker 1 (2m 37s): You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (2m 38s): I got a written down some notes here. Like,
Speaker 3 (2m 42s): Let me tell you here. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (2m 46s): Let me just read you kind of what I, what I wrote down. And then you guys will understand where I'm coming from.
Speaker 1 (2m 52s): Reality unfolds
Speaker 2 (2m 53s): Like a protein. The atomic is the same as the cosmic. The COVID pandemic is emblematic where mankind is today. That which plagues us is made by man. If we can create a virus that could wipe out the planet or a virus that could decimate the world population, should it not also be possible to create a virus that would empower the population?
Think about that. I want to briefly go back to a first part of that paragraph that says the COVID pandemic is emblematic of where mankind is today. That which plagues us is made by man. Like we have created our own pandemic. We didn't need, we don't need he
