I would agree right up to the boundaries of altruism. We enjoy the fruits of others as we trade the the fruits of our own in value for value exchanges.

Cooperation is only as useful as its highest internal degree of freedom, otherwise the high skills and resources are used inefficiently.

Can you think of any problem of the world we face that isn't considerably associated with a faction, or social construct of some type?

Is it logical to build a social construct to fix another social construct?

Pollution. The air we breathe, the water we drink and the land we live on. It is something we all affect and are all affected by to greater and lesser degree and something we would all benefit from if improved. The conversation has been hijacked and reframed as climate change/global warming to polarize factions though.

Highest concentrations of pollution occur in population dense cities. Cities are a social construct.

Mass produced food where diesel is burned to power food production.

Few folks really wants to have the difficult conversation.
