That's so incredibly naive. I'm not even mad at you, I just feel sorry for you. You seem like a bright and hopeful person but if you keep looking for this version of society you will constantly be disappointed.
I'll just say, there are a lot of people who like their jobs. I'm actually one of them. Almost none of those people enjoy their jobs enough that they would choose to work rather than not work, for no additional gain. Maybe you're one of that tiny sliver of people. But if so, there's not enough of you to keep society functioning, much less progressing.
Don't worry i know my ideals naive. And i admit that that and the desire to do what is correct (subjective), regardless of personal gain is related to my and common in autism and other neurodivergent.
Believe it or not if wed have some long in person conversations you'll find i have many more nuanced related opinions and ideas on how to do things differently that are very hard to explain in text. What i want isn’t feasible without many many overhauls on all levels of society, starting with the values we foster in our children.
A gross summary of many of it is that if you aim for perfection you maintain focused on getting as close to it as you can. This state of knowing i/we are doing the best we can is my zen area where i can truly Focus. Things will never be perfect, to me that is perfect as there will always be some problem to solve and something that feels worth doing.
