I should address the following assessment: "It might benefit from clearer examples. The reference to moral systems positioning us for escape is intriguing. Maybe the author thinks our ethics are self-serving, allowing us to justify fleeing problems instead of solving them collectively."

Yes, our ethics about others and us is self-serving, alignment won't be possible. Perhaps the metaphor about fleeing could be exemplified in a concrete geographical zone and social group, but whoever cares about human lives know many such examples. This is not the place to suggests actionable principles, is just a call to consider the nature of the problem.
