The question can be broken down as:
1. Why do you write?
> To collect my thoughts into a organized stream. So that I can forget the stream of thoughts and still have a place to recollect if needed.
2. Why write publically?
> Openness helps clean and calm the head further.
Better outside than inside...
My mind has argued, and won to some extent, the opposite, but within a boundary: if you are responsible, why not do it better, if you are not doing it better, what is the point of it all?

Socialists tend to be optimistic and believe that humans have the capacity to care for one another and collectively contribute to societal well-being.
Capitalists may be more skeptical of human nature, leaning on the idea that self-interest drives societal progress. They often argue that individuals are most motivated to contribute when they stand to personally benefit.
The article does shed a good light on humans relationship to the society it leans on and is hopeful of the possibility of a human system that can rely on a army of collective-good workers.
May be some day we will see such a system that doesnt discount the inherent competitiveness and survival bias of a individual.

Here are relative dimensions:
Pixel 3 phone dimensions: 145.6 x 68.2 x 7.9 mm
Zenfone 9 phone dimensions: 146.5x68.1x9.1mm
Pixel 6a phone dimensions: 152.2 x 71.8 x 8.9 mm
Pixel 6 dimensions: 158.60 x 74.80 x 8.90mm
With current slim bezels and modified aspect ratios, dimensions have gone down for relatively larger screen sizes.
Any pointers on how to get out of this? Anything that would help me move forward?
It looks too long, the first question that comes to my mind on this sleepy day is whether this is worth it. A lot of these tend to be self wound articles, but I start reading and interest develops slowly but surely. Before you know it I am through reading and starting to wonder, how did I read this as a whole and how great this was. May be this was even small and some more of it wouldn't have hurt.
Thank you for posting this. This article gives great insight into the thought and the narrative behind these great authors. I would be looking forward to reading The Power Broker and the LBJ series. As always, reading about Kurt or his work is always fascinating.
