Altruism

[Oh My High]

Point:

I like the idea of it, but evolutionarily there is no evidence that it exists. For something to be altruistic it cannot benefit you you at all. One has to argue that the good feeling you get from helping someone negates the altruism of the act.

Counter-point:
Biological Altruism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Oh My High Reviewed by Oh My High on 08-29-2007. Altruism I like altruism. Do you? My mom sometimes gives me shit for doing this for others that does not inconvenience me much, if at all, but I really like helping people for free. Like if I help a friend move out, I don't accept money from him, just doing my part to help humanity and stuff. I don't let people take advantage of me, I just like to make other people unexpectedly happy, like giving free bud to a friend who can't afford it as much. Modern science now has begun to bat down that Rating: 5
