Does Altruism Actually Exist? | Bobby Cappuccio - 603

The definition of altruism is the selfless concern for the wellbeing of others. But when we dig deep into the human psyche and look at how neurochemistry drives our behaviour, and thus how the desire to or act of helping others directly affects our neurochemistry and thus our emotions, are we really being altruistic? Or are we actually being manipulatively selfish? Does it even matter either way?

And from a societal and an evolutionary perspective, what's actually the purpose of altruism? Bobby and rummage around the metaphorical altruism attic and see what curious conversational gems we can unpack.

Enjoy!
