  • Awwwww :)

  • Some information about the experimental method, please.

  • Unlulled egoists are fear-addicts (usually since a bad embryoncy), who forget that, even sick, they exist because altruists work for all. Whenever aggression rises, feardoms collapse. Unhealed egoists preach that all other are egoists just to justify their parasitism.

    As present feardoms are collapsing, altruism will again offer new generations the safest way to coexist!

    Keep sharing hugs and fearlessness!

  • i agree, there is too many variables, the child could have giving him the clothespin in curiousity,to see whats next, or the child could have given him the clothespin because the parent was standing there motionless and nothing was happening, the baby was exspecting a show and the show stopped, he wanted it to continue so he acted on its own interest. Bad example of altruism

  • This is not altruism. The child is acting out of his self interest because he would be yelled at, or was yelled at in the past for leaving things a mess and does not want to endure that again(a basic human response). Altruism is sacrificing ones self for the good of another not helping someone because you want to.

  • This reinforces the notion of morality existing in the absence of belief in a higher power. I believe that it is our desire to cooperate (for the good of ourselves and society) that induces moral behavior. The child here is unable to comprehend religious ideas, but he has most likely been taught that being nice has good consequences, while being naughty has bad consequences. My three-month-old pup understands this; it would not be unreasonable to expect a human toddler to grasp it as well.
