You have to ask, is our problem our reluctance to become monsters?
I know the monster I become is drug addict nihalist who is constantly in and out of prison. Probably die from lung cancer in the next 5-10 years.
The guilt of something like charismatic cult leader or disingenuous pastor would crush me. I’m too nervous/anxious to scam/con. Then my empathy is way too much to be an enforcer or offer dark web services.
Nope, if I gave up, I’m the guy they point at and say, “don’t do drugs kids.”

Our reluctance to become monsters despite the incentive gives me hope.
Let’s hope we can hold out.
