This is one of the negatives about modern, 21st Century humans. No perspective on the fact we're living in literally miraculous times.
Entertainment/leisure
Availability of food, water, energy
Health care
Those 3 things would shock Americans just 80 to 100 ago, much less 1000.
And much if it was altruism or certainly facilitated by a combination of altruism and enlightened self-interest.

Some of us are. Some civilizations were completely wiped away by what you called “selfless cooperation”.

Not all people are American. Some people still struggle, even fight over food/water/energy.
The road to where we are today as Americans was painted in the blood of those who opposed us.
Not decrying that fact or calling it evil, but it wasn’t done “for the greater good” it was to benefit those who it benefitted and to take from those who were in the way. To the victors go the spoils.
