Is the devil dressed in greed? Greed stimulates corruption, which promotes self-alienation, facilitates systemic failure, worsens inequality, and generates false pledges and divide-and-conquer policies. Despite the United Nations’ (UN) existence for much of a century, most countries continue to exploit and compete for cheap labor, causing poverty rates to climb. Most UN member states and other affiliated and international organizations have institutionalized bad governance, corporate abuse, and social injustice to benefit themselves, thus committing institutional crimes and aiding the global elite in a vicious conspiratorial cycle. The entire UN system has harnessed a mafia-like culture of power with impunity in intermestic affairs to control human experience and generate authoritarian paradigms. This in turn stimulates psychological captivity, irrational preferences, and negative herd behavior and divides nations both internationally and domestically. A literature-based transdisciplinary study was conducted to substantiate these assertions and to propose feasible systemic solutions that point toward humanistic paradigms by cultivating psychological freedom and implementing good governance. In this way, the related cognitive processes can be systemically and intermestically amended while resolving the structural weaknesses of the UN, eliminating inequality, uniting nations internationally and domestically, and developing a peaceful, just, and sustainable world order.

Is the devil dressed in greed? From greed, corruption gains, self-alienation dominates, the system fails, inequality exacerbates, and false pledges play the divide-and-conquer game. I wondered how governments worldwide are allowed to act as they please, while becoming increasingly involved in systemic failure, and still get away with it. The entire United Nations (UN) system and its greedy leaders are collectively responsible for harnessing a mafia-like culture of power to control the human experience and generate authoritarian paradigms. This, in turn, stimulates psychological captivity and negative herd behavior and divides nations both internationally and domestically. A transdisciplinary study was conducted to propose feasible solutions that point toward humanistic paradigms by cultivating psychological freedom and implementing good governance. In this way, the related cognitive processes can be amended while resolving the UN’s structural weaknesses, eliminating inequality, uniting nations both internationally and domestically, and developing a peaceful, just, and sustainable world order.
