People are naturally cooperative. Just observe any disaster to see it. People come out of the woodworks to help each other.
They myth that when things break down, people revert to some ultra-survivalist hyper-individual bloodline protecting supersoldier has to die.
What happens is that society reverts to pre modern relationship templates where who you know and interpersonal skills reign supreme. Our modern society enables this myth and makes us more like it in our everyday lives than our natural cooperative base state.
I understand the concern. I meant that in the context of making plans people tend to diverge.
You are right in that in solving present problems people do converge.
It would be nice if people could follow plans to avoid having problems in the first place.
