Exactly. Give me a situation where steeling is profitable, I would steal sooner
than later (of course without hurting anyone) . And if I wouldn't, someone
else would. The opportunity to steel only points to a bug in the security
system, that needs to be fixed. So egoism is really the driving force
behind improvements of the legal and economical systems. In fact,
they probably wouldn't exist without egoism.
