    I'd recommend getting out of the line of fire. Things about to get ugly.

    Eh, we're not exactly selfish bastards. That's why people donate money to charity programs. We're not exactly Saints either. That's why we need charity programs.

    Or altruism can be fueled by self-intrest, as in the nice people have more friends. Or for example extreme (death defying) altruism will arise in (animal tested) cases were the gene pool (relatives) of the subject is threatened, what is it then? Altruism or self intrest in the protection of the genes of the subject?

    Point is that altruism and self-intrest arent clearly segregated entities, a better conversation would be one of cooperation vs compitition.
