It sounds.... impossible to defeat this darker side of human nature, in order to grow into a mature species worthy of restoring and responsibly maintaining this garden planet.
I think most humans aren't like that, it's just that the ones that are have managed to structure society to reward their behavior. We need to get these vile, greed driven ghouls, out of positions of power to get anywhere.
The problem is that non-sociopaths don't seek power. Public service is looked down upon.
Yeah. Like the old adage of whoever seeks power is least deserving of it. It's a difficult thing to combat.
I can't remember if it was Asimov or Heinlein (maybe Clarke), but one of them said that an elected official should be drug into office kicking and screaming, and only be allowed to leave when they've done a good job.
prolly Heinlein, wierdo sex type, but some useful ideas...
