That makes me think of Braess paradox and see parallels. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess's_paradox) As most people seem to try to take the most optimal self-interested decision it does not always make the outcome the most optimal for them or everyone. As actions we take as not, affect more than ourselves and can't be totally disconnected from this world.

And as a individual to be able to take the most optimal decision in complex systems is pretty difficult. What would we be without our choice and an AI or a higher power would take the decisions for us?
