I like your recognition about the community. I humbly recommend everyone consider utilitarianism https://www.utilitarianism.net/

“The core precept of utilitarianism is that we should make the world the best place we can. That means that, as far as it is within our power, we should bring about a world in which every individual has the highest possible level of well-being.” - Peter Singer

That sounds like an invitation to utopian authoritarians to define "well-being" for everyone else. Gross.
What an unfortunate misunderstanding of a philosophical idea that has been carefully developed for over 300 years.
