Your analysis is good, up to a point, but misses the ultimate truth. Everything you described as what we ought to do, low time preference, moral living is exactly what God has told man how to live a good and righteous life. It is the "invisible hand" Adam Smith wrote about. It is God's way. If you want to learn more about it, just read, and understand, the Bible.

Thanks for the comment!
Question: If a man preaches the teachings of the Bible, without referencing the Bible, is the man not sharing the teachings of the Bible?
If you're trying to get people to read the Bible, you direct them, & try to get them to DYOR. As with Bitcoin, spoon feeding it doesn't work.
