I rarely see the community discuss or emphasize how to increase our altruism, and our capacity for altruism, both on an individual and societal level
This observation is certainly welcome. Especially since I don’t see how it can be utilitarian, from a cost-benefit perspective, to ignore the obvious urgency of having more altruistic people in order to have more altruistic works.
There are historical precedents of large social movements in which the altruistic motivation was considered a vital factor for community development. Unfortunately, this factor had to coexist with others that often distorted it. That is the point that needs to be improved. Evolution is copy plus modification.

Thanks, Kuhan.
