Sounds nice but everyone thinks they are noble. I hate the words "honor" and "loyalty" because those are to a tribe and not to the species. The only altruism I see viable for humans is the acceptance is that we all bitch and at the same time want the same things.
Fuck utopias. We all die, and as long as any group thinks the world is centered around them, the more divided we become. The more we accept this is the only dot we have, the more we can improve our species existence while allowing for our differences.
