Yeah ... I mean, MY best idea for ensuring my/my loved ones' survival is to work to make sure that as many people as possible in my community can survive. Because if most or all of us are surviving, then it's pretty great odds I'm in the group of people surviving.
Once you're saying you're willing for most folks to not make it, the odds of you/your loved ones being the one of the ones who make it are a whole helluvalot lower...

That's a great point. When you allow the idea that some people's lives are worth more than others, you introduce cracks in the social contact. If it doesn't cover all of us, without exception, it becomes a matter of debate. What could undermine a community more thoroughly than a disagreement about who the community will protect and who it won't?
Even just having that discussion makes everyone less safe.
