There is a balance. The ant colony fails for us monkey sorts because too much community mindedness stifles individual ambition. And for better or for worse, that is the only reliable driver for innovation and the building of wealth.
Conversely, an overly individualistic society rewards strength above all else. You end up with something like a warrior society. This scales poorly beyond the tribal (or motorcycle club) scale.
Where to best strike the balance between selfishness and collectivism - that's always a great party topic!
