My question then becomes, manic street preacher, is there a way that we can change society to an arrangement that will lead to fulfillment for the majority or is it the tragedy of the commons?However it's important to note that society is fundamentally arranged around satisfaction not fulfillment.
"Tragedy of the commons" is when everyone exploits a common resource in a rational way that depletes the common resource irrationally. The classic example is over-grazing of shared pasture. Really, "take care o'you" is the response. Make sure that what you're doing makes you happy, makes you fulfilled, and don't worry so much about "society." Dark Ages Europe had a "society" after all and it really only benefitted the landed gentry.
