Both egoism and altruism are human nature. We are capable of both (for the most part). Currently, we have a socioeconomic system that rewards and encourages primarily the former. Why not try it the other way and see where that brings us?

I wonder how well a system would work where you get more money, the more you help people/help solve problems (with problems i mean like pollution or something)

I don't think money should be an incentive at all, in the long run.

It definitely would be nice if that were the case, but i think the best way to incentivice people is to reward them. Better yet make a competition out of it. Just gotta reward actions that benefit other people.

Like let people be millionaire's but to get there they need to help like ten thousand people or something
