    "You don't get a better life individually from it."
    That's because you are still thinking of it in a self-oriented way. Particularly a self who has the ways and means to pay for whatever kind of life they have.
    i believe the net benefit for society as a whole would be beneficial. And again, i'm not saying that this is a 3 or 5 or 10 or even twenty ear process. You are right, humans want a better life for themselves and their families. But if you can get people to see others (neighbors, friends, strangers) as part of an extended family, they will see when all boats go up, theirs goes up too.

    • I think that requires a fundamental shift in human behavior, and I don't think it will happen in any amount of years.hedge
    • ...years.

      but maybe it will, maybe I'm wrong.
