What each person truly wants is to be loved and admired by a community of their peers. This should be enough of a motivating force on the individual level.
Such a principle could serve as a new socio-economic engine in the next paradigm. It is time to cast away the old notion of profit.
But beware, such an engine is itself a stabilizing agent, and upon total stabilization of a society, the principle itself may wear out its usefulness, just as the principle of profit, a propulsive agent, wears out its usefulness upon destabilization of a society.
Time will tell I suppose, as it always does!
