I tend to think selfishness is the only reliable motivator. If I know how it benefits someone, I can guess what they will do. I can be wrong, but even altruism has self-interest at its heart.

I do what I do because it creates the world that I want to live in. I like a world where people use their turn signals, where people help other people when it's necessary, and where people are honest and hardworking. There are many things I want in a society, and I don't always hit the mark, but I do try.

I'm really enjoying this conversation.
