It wasn't an answer in any case, it was a statement. You can't say "The reason is becuase" (you only need to say 'is', 'because' is redundant here) and then state a quality of capitalism. There's no causality there.
You can't be 'wired' to do something because of an unsubtantiated claim that that thing is the best thing.
Proof of people being 'wired' to do something would be that this is what they almost always do.
Infants suck becuase they are 'wired' to, and it's demonstrable that almost all of them do. You could argue that violence is 'wired' into people. Arguing that as recent a developemnt as capitalism is 'wired' into people is like saying we're 'wired' to drive cars.
The reason you never actually argue points is you don't even understand what argument is.
All your arguments boil down to: This is the way it is becuase that's the way I think things really are. Humans do all sorts of things that are not the 'peak' of the mountain top. (You knew that the peak is the top of a mountain, right). Aside rom your personal endorsement of capitalism, that statement offers absolutely nothing.
WHEEEE, I'm taking you seriously, dumbo!
