obviously we want to encourage lots of humans to do good things but I think it’s extra important to encourage the 1 percent of humans that would otherwise do evil things to do good things.
Anyway part of my point is that this is already basically being accomplished through capitalism so we don’t need to focus on it. It’s a low hanging fruit that’s already being plucked by our system that gives money to people who are of benefit to lots f of people

Less than one percent.
Do you think it’s optimally important? As in, the optimal social structures are weighted specifically towards this subgroup?
There’s far lower hanging fruit than that. Most people don’t even know about the Milgram experiments.
Don’t make the optimal the enemy of the good.
