how is this not what happened here? children were playing with legos, adults step in and mandate how play should occur based on their observations and the values they think the kids should develop. the way they describe how the kids play with legos—looking for the "cool pieces", feeling ownership over things they built—is the default way that all kids end up playing with legos in a group setting. somehow we all turned out okay without anyone dictating morals and values into lego play of all things.

one glance at the current state of society makes it pretty obvious that “somehow we all turned out ok” is not true.

It isn't actually remotely clear that our species or civilization will actually survive and the number one threat in 1000 different aspects is our failure to consider our individual actions in context of the rest of us.
I wouldn't say that we turned out alright at all.
They must experience lego equity (s). Everyone gets exactly the same pieces and nothing more.
