Some many years ago some people collected some negative traits to describe the foibles of people. Unfortunately, these negatives seem to dominate much of the news:

Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth.

If we could somehow dim the influence of these human traits, we might get closer to the world you described

> Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth

The greatest popular innovation of our time appears to be to have extended the above list with Falsehood, Cruelty, and Pollution.

  • Falsehood Cruelty and Pollution are results of the 7 sins. Cruelty is typically caused by Anger or Envy, Pollution from Gluttony and Sloth, Falsehood from Pride and Envy etc.
