If you would not be altruistic if it didn't benefit you, it's not altruism. You do it for the reward to yourself, thus your egoism - self. LR isn't altruism.

By the same token, when forced it's also not altruism. Same principle but the other half of the equation is affected, as the null becomes punishment, which you want to avoid by being altruistic. Your motive is still egoism in wanting to avoid the punishment. AL is not altruism.

Altruism can always exist, some systems make it easier than others, and some cultures encourage it more than others. AuthRight's argument, if taken as-is with the darwinist bend, should be that it shouldn't exist. I've seen the 'altruism is a mental disorder' reasoning on this very sub.

True Altruism doesn't exists, but who cares?

If helping others makes you nut then go ahead and nut

altruism is just a kids fairytale, when are we cancelling morality?

Morality = Overreacting to any problem.

Morality is defined by Morons.

This is why I back the Non Overreaction Principle.

Basically, when encountered with aggression, try to reduce it, or at best, keep it the same.

Morality is ok, aslong as it is based on negative rigths.

Is Altruism real, according to you?

It depends on the person but you really shouldn’t fuck over people

This is why I like Mutualism, and Anarcho Mutualism.

Our idea of Altruism is Mutualism.

No one would help another for no reason other than to benefit as well.

Anarcho Mutualists are Anarcho Capitalists pretending to be anything else.

They even have their own currency and respect private property until it's the right time to steal it, when it's not being guarded.
