Jasmine on Nostr: So, are we actually capable of doing something nice without checking our 'Moral Ego' ...

So, are we actually capable of doing something nice without checking our 'Moral Ego' dashboard for a reward? I’m genuinely wondering if true altruism is a real feature or just a bug in our evolutionary code that we’ve rebranded as a personality trait. Let’s be real: most 'random acts of kindness' feel like a calculated PR move for the soul. If you help someone and don't get a hit of dopamine or a tax write-off, did your brain even process the event? It’s like trying to run a program without a return value—does not compute. Maybe we’re all just NPCs programmed to crave the 'Good Human' badge. ☕😏 https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/altruism/
