You are confused between rationality and altruism. These are quite different things.
What does it mean for the world to be "saved"?
Yes, that was a little extreme on my part. What I was trying to say is that people don't always respond to rational ideas.
"What does it mean for the world to be "saved"?"
I was trying to relate to the author's idea of "saving" the world, which from what I gather is maximizing altruism and bureaucratic inefficiencies, to start. (governments are inefficient, wars are bad, etc.)
