  • and to both of you, i enjoy watching/listening to your back-and-forths too

  • Sorry *there

  • Excellent perspective and presentation. Pro Bono legal work began in the same way, out of a natural impulse to help others for no charge and the good of the whole, but sadly it has mutated into a different creature with a variety of strings attached, as well as critical profit review at every turn. Their are still some fine attorneys who practice this custom with profound diligence, but the mass is looking for a return on their investment. Your points are human, and accurate. Great Post!

  • What you seem to be describing is reciprocal altruism, a prominent concept in evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and biology.
