Both egoism and altruism are human nature. We are capable of both (for the most part). Currently, we have a socioeconomic system that rewards and encourages primarily the former. Why not try it the other way and see where that brings us?

I wonder how well a system would work where you get more money, the more you help people/help solve problems (with problems i mean like pollution or something)

We should encourage that financially. I don't think communism is a viable solution tho
