No, that doesn't easily resolve it. Resolving it would require everyone else (or, at least, a large fraction of them) to be like that. This is basically solving social problems by imagining humanity is other than it is.

The only way to solve collective action problems in the real world is via coercion. That is, government.

I can think of several other approaches. Duty, honour, artificial incentives, constructive competition… People do work together without being forced to, you know.
