The importance of neighborly love

It would be fantastic, until someone figured out that if they cheat the system, they can personally benefit even more - at the expense of everyone else.

The world as it is, is a balance of acting selfishly and acting communally (lovingly?). The highest benefit for all, is when everyone acts communally, but there is a higher benefit individually, if you act selfishly, but only when others are acting communally. Its a complicated balance.

A fan of behavioral economics?

I dig it too. Plenty up for grabs.
