Because of the culture we're in and how everything is about sensation, I think we only think something's working if it makes us feel something.

The solution to your problem is right there!

Pride. Shame.
How often you feel shame vs how often you feel pride
Fake pride doesn't fix real shame.

Real or fake? I don't care
I don't care if this is real or fake, it's one hell of a framing of humanity.

Equity flaws
I used to love that picture
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FhNu5uHi7/?mibextid=wwXIfr
People are not only imperfect but when the methodical lights go out we can get greedy, dark, controlling. In a beautiful world we'd share everything but people will gladly receive but not give back, hoarding wealth, power and status.
Here's the reality about equity, it's usually someone being generous with other people's money or opportunities. When it's their own money and opportunities on the line - NIMBY
Even in this example they haven't paid for the game they're watching. It's easy for the tall dude to give to the little dude because it costs nothing.
Value doesn't fall out of the sky, people work hard everywhere around the world and have since mankind begin. Start by giving what you have first before telling people to give up what they have.
If you're greedy with little things why should everyone else be generous with big things?
I wish this weren't so, and plenty of people are beautiful and can be trusted. Many also can't.

The AI motives are wrong
I think when people use anything "AI" for a greed motive, the results are bad, everyone loses.
When people use anything AI to enhance the process of serving, the results can be spectator.
Change the frame, feel the change.
