I agree. This is why I'm not worried about being good. The impetus for everyone to behave is your guys' thing. I'm interested in behaving in my own self-interest. Which can overlap with 'being good', but is a very different motivation.
Good luck with that..when chasing your self interest ends up working against your own best interests, don't worry, we'll all still be here to bail your ass out of the jam - like people do...when people lose their shit looking out for numero uno.
