What would a society without any human flaws truly be like? (lemm.ee)

If mankind started out without any negative traits that like greed, ego, anger etc., how would it shape our civilization up to this date? Would we have created the perfect utopia or made ourselves extinct long ago? Are our flaws holding us down or are they the reason our society made it to this point?

What do you mean by binary in “Negative traits are not binary?” I only know the definition of binary as 1’s and 0’s.

Not binary in this context means, that there isn't two opposing choices (true or false, black or white, greedy or generous). We're rather looking at a scale in between opposing concepts.

A scheme in which there are only 2 possible values
