Aella I hate to say this but the psychs beat you to this and the laziness/communist/zero-sum thinking correlation is a well-documented phenomenon already

In games, I like to be a ruthless thief or monopolist, since morality does not apply… as opposed to in real life, where moral purpose can actually be a source of motivation.

Humans need incentives that reward pro-social positive sum games. The way the world currently works, greedy/zero sum games are incentivised. Actually, that’s how Satoshi created Bitcoin, to incentivise positive sum behaviour in humans.

I knew which way this would go and I disagree with the majority: I prefer capitalism precisely because it makes naturally zero-sum people produce positive sum outcomes

People react very differently depending on social context. That's kind of the point -- I assume we want our social system to bring out the best, most pro-social version of everyone who is co-creating it.
