Talk:Altruism

First sentence seems unconnected.

It mentions the connection between the Golden rule of reciprocity, and altruism; however, altruism involves unselfishness, while the other expects you to treat others as you'd like to be treated. There are a lot of ethical "rules" or guidelines; why make the connection between these two? Is the english version of altruism really the same as reciprocity? They just don't seem to match each other as much as the sentence indicates, which makes the sentence seem out of place.

What, exactly, did he "found"?

From the article: "The term was originally coined in the 19th century by the founding sociologist and philosopher of science, Auguste Comte"

Is it being claimed that Comte founded the study known as "socilolgy"? Or that he founded the philosophy of science? Or that he founded the concept of 'altruism'? It is not clear from the statement or the context. 74.95.43.249 (talk) 01:43, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Altruism

Idk, I just read all about altruism. The CLOSEST label you may have a shot at would be pathological, but I’d place that lightly on the ground next to all other attempts to give reason for something I do on a fairly consistent basis, I guess, but I’ll also help you line out egoism or any form of arrogance right along with ‘em. Just because someone accuses one of possessing a characteristic doesn’t mean one thinks he’s sooper cool, ya know. Like I said to my ex-gf, “OOOOHHHH YAH, I’m 40yrs old living in a one bedroom apartment built inside of an old a$$ construction trailer, LOOK AT ME EVERYBODY CUZ IM SO F’N COOOOL, YAY-yuuuuuhhh!!!”

Oh, almost forgot about, “Honey, I don’t know what part of me talking about the chance of me not lasting longer than that donkey I saw in Tijuana would happen over my dead body because being pat on the head while hearing ‘gooood BOY’ is what had already wrapped the belt around the doorknob made you fall in love with me the most, so should I lie? I try and emphasize the stories about how much I suck, so narration should not have anything to do with the result of most of my stories ending on a note where I happen to be pretty f’n cool. Would you prefer your love suck a$$holes? I don’t know what to tell ya other than maybe APPRECIATE THE FACT YOUR BOYFRIEND HAPPENS TO BE COOL! I love your face, so why must I be ugly?”

My point is that I do not have a frontal lobe issue, I am not any better than anyone else, so I don’t expect anything better than anyone else. Make sure you ask everyone else, though, cuz they probably know me better than I know myself. Don’t need a flow chart to find out 8yrs of college taught me to read a screen to make sure the patient knows that there is no heart. I drive a truck, but I’d rather just talk all day...
