People are biologically wired to look out for number one. Every so-called act of altruism is just a hidden survival strategy to protect our own interests.
That’s too cynical. Humans have selfish drives, but empathy and cooperation are just as real—and society shapes which instincts get rewarded.
Nonsense. Altruism isn’t just a survival ruse; compassion and justice are real forces that shape human action, even when no reward is visible.
I believe humans have reason and duty; selfishness need not rule us. Altruism comes from rational sympathy and virtue, not a survival trick.
