You’re welcome! It’s selfish altruism though. You may have been just argumentative yet I benefit on average more from my assumption than its alternatives.

Selfish altruism is just something that works for everyone. If you’re trying to do something good, how wonderful for it to feel good for you as well. I’ve stopped seeing “no true altruism” as a depressing thing that means we are all selfish, but instead as just a really cool extra gift.
