I can only speak for myself. I would like every human to have access to basic necessities, which includes access to information (not necessarily education), and I've stated my reasons for that. That can't be "the" starting point for me, but it's a starting point, so I can play that game.
Good. It's a starting point, as we said. We can extend the notion of necessities, as our culture grows and our scientific understanding of what's needed by humans for a healthy development.
Couple that with dynamic equilibrium, so that we can live sustainably on the planet indefinitely, and you have the basis for an RBE.
