Making the assumtion that people do stuff for money migth be in some places reasonable but it predictably stacks the conclusion in favour of profits. When using such alternative means it migth make sense that they have logic/robustness comparable to that of money. But other forms of influence are known to exist. You could think of religious cults love bombing emotionally invest to later have fervous zealots but no money moves.
One of the arrows in the non-profit diagram is a money arrow and it raises a question could it be drawn with no money arrows whatsoever. If you have an important social issue you might be able to launch a political party.
The being right early deploys a form of argument from lack of imagination. Here is one stance to consider whether it informs the issue: It is more socially rewarding to be early in a winning side of a war. It’s enough that there are established sayings like “you want to be on the right side of history”. Being late on the “right side” is easier and way less pious. But an issue here is that such “rewards” are more nebolous to measure.
Of course people do things for different motivations. But the people who make money (whether or not that is their motivation) are the ones who get to keep doing their thing. So the ecosystem selects for those who make money.
Some person might earn money in one activity ot be able to lose money in another activity. While typically they are tought as being in a job to get a salary and being a product consumer to lose money to get cookie points there is nothing from stopping somenoe to do less consumering and do self-sacrificial other benefitting work.
And money doesn’t select people per se. The main way to get money is to buy it from a store. But if you get your food from a source that doesn’t require buying then you do not risk your biological metabolism from being interupted if you can’t buy food.
Why does war fall outside of the scope? It is a generally touchy kind of thing so let me try to imagine a more standard example. Following fashion trends early nets you more notoriety and it is hard to be in the leading edge of fashion by being a copycat. For consumer level economics the financial costs of clothes is nearly same whether bough in trending phase or after it being settled style. So people buying different clothes risk being strange but get to be trendsetters if their choices end up as the fashion of the day.
Re war, I just didn’t analyze that here. It’s worth analyzing how that changes selective pressures, and more generally how government organizations fit into this analysis, but I just didn’t cover that.
The language used is somewhat abstract so it is hard to guess what the expected domain of applicability would be (either from which it was instilled or to what its claims claim to hold in).
One can take the fashion example also in the organizational sense. A museum or fashion designer house might need ot deal with suc h pressure with being fre from moneyhtary pressures.
