Living ethically and adhering to your values can lead to long-term benefits, creating a high-trust society where cooperation leads to win-win outcomes for everyone.

A society that empowers people to self-actualize and contribute leads to peace and a desire to help each other, which is the ideal society according to Maslow.

We need to establish institutions that can facilitate high-trust collaboration among individuals, rather than relying solely on contrarian approaches that undermine institutional knowledge.

Trust and cooperation are feelings that cannot be mandated; they arise from a sense of safety and belonging within a group.

Long-term selfish reasons exist for being virtuous, as they can lead to better relationships and a more fulfilling life.

You can enhance your self-esteem and attract virtuous people by living according to your own set of ethics and values, rather than sacrificing for others.

Having wealth is not about being rich; it's about the trust society places in you to manage resources effectively for the greater good.

Building trust in a partnership requires vulnerability and the ability to navigate conflict, which strengthens the relationship and fosters better collaboration.

Trust is built by consistently meeting expectations and being a good steward of resources; it's crucial for gaining more resources in the future.
