People with a desire to improve things generally have a very strong desire to spend some of that effort contributing to and seeing local improvements.
Do you see that as a good thing?
Seeing improvements in ways that are immediately tabgible is very encouraging and motivating.
I see it as a true thing, and thus something to cooperate with. Normatively, I see it as instrumentally bad, but related to something I want to protect.
Perhaps it was imprudent, but I assumed that someone trying to promote rationality would herself be rational enough to overcome this parochialism bias.
