Our society isn't ready for this.

Because of the godlessness of our society, the self has no grounds by which to engage with others, and by further incentivizing profit for more individuals, the further our society will tend to engage with itself as profit as its highest purpose — even outside of the workplace — consciously or unconsciously.

I could see this being less dangerous if our society was deeply rooted in a religious reality, where an individual's engagement with the world is driven by a holistic good, as opposed exclusively to a financial good.
