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.
Like a flower.
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.
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.
I tested this theory.
I only found 1 practical use for it.
Be nice to people who are nice back.
Strive for peace but do not be a slave to it.
that's not altruism, either
It's not?
altruism is when you do something for someone else without getting anything back
