And let's say 95% of people act civilly, but 5% of the population is extremely greedy. How do you limit the greedy from drinking all the ale and not contributing to the community?
Well the example I gave was literally during the time of feudalism so in that society you didn't. I'm a social sciencentist but I don't have all the answers as, like you pointed out, bad actors are typically a minority which hijackes the society they are in. I don't think we need to know everything to make a better world, we should start with what we can. If you or I ever find a definitive answer I hope we share that with everyone we can.
That's a noble goal. This is basically the biggest argument against collectivism. If you don't have even a framework for addressing it I doubt you will get much support for your ideas.
Uhh buddy I said I didn't know because I was being humble and not trying to act like I have 100% answers to everything when I'm just commenting to a post on my phone. We can easily look towards work around self determination theory if you want motivation, but I think you more meant organizational structures and incentive structures or maybe trying to identify and handle potential bad actors through dark tetrad personality assessment. I actually do research in these areas and the evidence isn't some nebulous idea, I just don't have the time to collect and present to you the work on a topic like this. Go read some science, there is a lot of good stuff out there if you want to learn.
