We live in a society that only values money so why should anyone optimise for s.th. else?

[aix1]

This frames society as some exogenous entity that we have no influence over.

It also assumes that the society is homogenous, in the sense that everyone cares about the same thing. I don't think that's true at all.

But the people with control of mechanisms of power like social influence do only care about money, so the voices of people who have other values become irrelevant.
