I don’t blame him though, most people make me lose my faith in humanity. I think it’s rational for someone to want to protect themselves and favor self-preservation. I also think it’s rational to contribute to a system which helps sustain you and your life and everything you enjoy doing. I don’t think it’s fair to ask people to make sacrifices or be altruistic or less selfish. I do think it’s fair to ask people to be reasonable and civil.

This only works on a societal level if you have a way to prevent people from being evil. Not just laws, but enforcement.
