Perhaps there are some non-utopian ways of transcending selfish interests and doing what is necessary. For example, in various countries, voters have been tempted to elect business tycoons: enough with politicians bickering over selfish interests – let the can-do strongmen take charge and run countries like corporations.
但为了当下的享受而停止一定程度的未来集体利益和沉迷于乌托邦幻境一样有害。或许存在一些超越自私自利、做必需完成之事的非乌托邦方法。比如，在许多国家，选民甘愿把票投给商业大亨：受够了政客为自身利益喋喋不休，让雷厉风行的强人执政，像经营公司一样治理国家吧。
