The question is very simple if stated in economic and therefore scientific, rather than religio-moral language: the institutional challenge of preventing free riding on contributions of private property, whether physical, as insurance, or as normative behavior, to the commons, and precisely who is to be a shareholder in those commons.

It is less satisfying to speak objectively rather than experientially. But then speaking objectively prevents loading, framing and overloading, which are the deceitful means by which free riding is justified.

The irony being, that moral philosophy in rational language is an exceptional vehicle for the conduct of deceit.

Which is in no small part the reason it persists.

Philosophy is an exceptional vehicle for justifying theft by fraud.
