No, because the starting point is different

In altruism you start from "I am a good person"

Selfishness is good

You do not have a right to demand charity of me by the threat of violence

With normal charity you start from "this person needs help"

I. A good person

The best way to help people is with true capitalism

We do not have capitalism today.

this is what I mean when I say it's impossible to argue such a point. the only difference is your own conception of what the word's inner nuance is, and there's no real meaning in fighting for such obviously mundane points

@Greasy That would be true if it were just a word and not a school of philosophy

that phrase you just uttered, that has no meaning

@NinjaQuick Or maybe I'm just smarter than you

yeah, I tried to interact before. got him marked in notes as "semantics" now.

autism is superpower you dumb fucks

can sit here all day and play the semantic philosopher game, or you could actually try to discuss issues of human experience and societal function - like philosophers must surely be supposed to.

Phad you're pretty fucking stupid though

You sound like a post modernist phad

Mired in semantics

not speaking english

Deal with reality. Evasion is evil like Rand said.

semantics-focused philosophers have been distracting academia for decades now, and it wrought the current state of societal norms. destruction. semantics is clearly not the way forward.

@Greasy Dude

I barely ever talk semantics

But discussing A SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY

Isn't really semantic

Lol

We're not discussing the dictionary definition of altruism

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/altruism/

Philosophy is really a stretch for someone that needs to be told what to think

@Greasy Go to that link

That's what we were discussing

Lol stanford

No that's what you're discussing.
