It’s people, but also their separate egos being incentivized separately. If people could see their ego tied with the well being of others many things would be different. But that would (reductively) require positive sum games/competition. Like that moment in “Beautiful Mind” where Nash sees all those equations and has an epiphany about cooperation in the bar scene. This can be done. But it requires a community effort and “community policing” for people instilling zero sum/negative sum mindset into the community. But instead of prison or a negative giving them the opportunity to change. I’ve actually been wondering whether employee owned corporations and other cooperatives address this “naturally” or not.
