I love how you found a way to twist paragraphs of honesty into some mythical narrative about self-aggrandizement, and then ascribed it to individual failure and thus basically proved my original thesis:

> Look, society for a while now has been incentivizing a “fuck you got mine” attitude in workers at all levels that has fostered immense dysfunction in work, governance, and society itself. We reward exceptional individualism and punish any sort of community action that doesn’t do the same.

Just as some unsolicited advice in return for the nugget you extended to me, you might consider listening to the stories of others and attempt to understand/empathize with them. Otherwise you're surrounding yourself with sharks who will feast on your body the moment you show weakness, and nobody helps the shark getting ripped apart by its fellow predators.
