Quora Answer: What reward would be necessary for humans to change their ways in the world?

The whole idea that there should be a reward in exchange for changing ways is the problem. The question is ambiguous as to whether it is Humans in General or specific humans. But we will assume Humans in general. I recommend the book Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robins which brings up the whole question of Death  and Immortality and oddly connects it to Perfume in a wild romp through human history and the decline of human beings as they become more “civilized”, etc. It posits that what is necessary is a change in the attitude toward death. That might not be such a bad idea as a place to start.
