The lower your time preference, the deeper level of civilization you care for.

If you're really high time preference, you'll only care about yourself.
Lower your time preference slightly, and you'll start caring about your family.
Lower it a bit more, your community.
Lower it further, your country/jurisdiction.
Lower it even more and you start caring about the world.

And this is real caring as in building stuff, not the fake kind which is just a bunch of cheap words.
