Problem is we need that as a species, but success is individual, and the playbook is not the same.

It's really not. The successful individual is an illusion, literally no one succeeds alone. The best strategy for individuals to get ahead is still social cohesion.

That's where you see people manipulating/using others to get ahead. You don't need to actually help others, you just need to let them believe that long enough to get ahead. Manipulation is easier, but social norms favor the other. So you see fewer people with the courage to go against the norm, and because it also works, you see disproportionate amount of success in those people.
