You just stumbled upon the eternal conflict between collective imperatives and individual wishes ^ ^ I guess only the wealthiest and most advanced utopias can truly reconcile them, since they inherently go in opposite directions (unity vs division). I agree that greater good should outweight personal greed, and someone like Acheron is perfectly suited for this task, as he has the necessary know-how to make it work and the power to enforce collective cooperation when needed.

I'd love to see a socio-political discussion between you and GrandMethuselah, who is a strong supporter of liberalism and more or less believes that it just needs a little elbow grease to magically solve everything, everyone's pursuit of their own interest somehow optimally serving the greater good. It tried to qualify a bit, explaining that reality isn't nearly as simple and convenient, and that conflicts of interests are bound emerge and cause a ton of troubles... to no avail whatsoever ^ ^;
