Well, if the desire for power is not genetically determined, then it may be possible to change it.
I believe that if we can make some changes in the socialization process, in the educational process, and in a few other things, that there is the hope, at least of having a culture which encourages people to relate in ways that do not involve power, glory, material possessions, etc. etc. If it is at all possible, it is no doubt difficult and will involve a lot of hard thinking and hard work by many dedicated people. However, I believe it is possible, so I keep asking questions in the hope that people will begin to think of the possibilities that do not keep us on the disastrous path we presently tread.
