It's not necessarily a trap, because collapse would be the result of over night change. However, if one of us should try collaborating with them, their should always be a pressure to do more or to think of ways to do more. As for why there would be collapse, it would be because people not associated with the culture would not know how 'Not' to "abuse the system".
