Yes, I can see where ignorance is a problem. We have that pretty much everywhere. That comes down to education.

So on one hand I'm an optimist in that I think with enlightenment (education), people will do the right thing. But I also know it's going to take awhile to see people move beyond just personal gain. I've seen study after study that says pretty much the same thing: natural selection does not favor selfishness over cooperation.

We may reach a turning point where more than half the world see value in cooperation over selfish conflict.
