But then again, if you go back far enough in history, every human has a grudge against each other.
for some reason
that's what i'm saying
So should we all kill each other over historical grievances?
take a completely different example to understand this
No, I understand this philosophy.
south korea has a "grudge" against japan for treatment in ww2
I understand.
they will keep using that "grudge" as long as they think it will get them something
no matter what japan does
Any human can do this at any time.
There is nothing special about this.
Your children will do this to you.
yup
but people take this moral rhetoric really seriously
I think altruism is a higher state of being.
However I will admit it is fragile.
altruism is fake
No.
It is fragile.
think of it from an evolutionary perspective
an organism will only evolve to help others to the extent that it causes their own genes to be duplicated
yes, but we have something called a brain.
so?
we have feelings
and we feel altruism
You can use your mind to act in different ways even in ways that have fragility.
I know altruism is fragile.
So I need to use it tactically.
What don't people get about this?
define altruism
A state of being peaceful.
i don't think that's the definition of altruism
It is to me.
It's the only practical form I can find.
In reality.
Have you ever tested things?
that's a vague question
well.
Okay.
