I think this is 1) untrue and 2) an extremely hazardous belief. If you try and reward altruistic behaviour, you corrupt it. Altruism becomes indistinguishable from self-interest, and it becomes impossible to trust anyone. China, by the way, is in a fairly horrifying state as far as altruism between strangers goes. I wouldn't look towards it as a model. https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/why-altruism-risky-china https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/why-altruism-r...
