What types of behaviors are you referring to as zero and negative sum games?

I think at the very least we should move toward a state where the existence of dare-I-say freeloaders and welfare queens isn't too taxing, and with general social progress that "niche" may be naturally disincentivized and phased out. Some people just don't really have a purpose or a drive but they were born here and yes one would hope that under the right conditions they could blossom but if not I don't think it's worth worrying about too much.

I would say that education is essentially at the core of everything, it's the only mechanism we have to move the needle on any of it.
