[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Helping someone without expectation of a reward is common. See the concept of Wikipedia.[/quote] True. [/quote] Yes, I think this is an important counterpoint. Humans [i]are [/i]altruistic too--to the point that scientists theorize about the natural selection angle on the trait. I actually think much or at least some of "selfishness" is a difficulty with abstraction--the incapacity to "scale" as another PP mentioned--or collective action problems. But make an ask concrete and immediate, and it is actually quite surprising how often people will e.g. take a survey when requested or show, not just tell. a stranger where something is located (<--just saw studies on these examples).[/quote]
