@zazzlethehedgehog The thing about this is we never "would" in the first place, because that kind of world is a false utopia that will never come to exist. It's not being cynical or pessimistic to think this either, it's just a mixture of human nature as well as the fundamental properties of the world at large- imperfect. There will always be some sort of flaw in the wider schematic of things, our moral actions as people aren't defined as earnings towards some collective end goal or light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel situation, they're components of responding to crisis and specific issues that arise with the progression of culture and society. We have to be good people to address new issues that come forth in our world, because the world's problems aren't a neatly bundled to-do list of items to solve but rather complex cultural dialogues that span billions of recipients.
