Folks trained to salivate at the sight of money will do as they're taught. 'Raise up a child in the way you would have them go, and when they are old they will be accustomed to it.' or something along those lines.
However, when we're immortal, we'll have to adapt to such circumstances by becoming accustomed to that new reality, and responsible for our every thought and act. In time, we will learn what actually matters, and how to effect it. I am sure it will take a long time, but a long time is what immortals have.
Someone did show up with a ladder and pick most of these. I hope only that they made good use of it, where I could not.
