Nostalgia: Altruism

An all truism about altruism. We are reflecting on this earlier episode with a more nuanced view than the first time around. When it comes to matters of philosophy, definitions are important (and, some might argue, not important at all). So, we are replaying this past episode and adding a bit of an updated discussion at the end, plus some new recommendations. Tell us what you think about altruism!RecommendationsAbraham: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (https://www.searchlightpictures.com/ready-or-not-2-here-i-come)Shane: The Bear (Season 5) and the Gary episode (https://www.hulu.com/series/gary-8c779d24-233d-4453-a22d-455a1862f913)Holidays (7/15/2026):Be A Dork DayI Love Horses DayNational Give Something Away DayDevelopmental Disability Professional DayNational Stamp Out Spiking DayNational Gummi Worm DayNational Hot Dog DayNational Pet Fire Safety DayNational Respect Canada DayNational Tapioca Pudding DayTake Your Poet to Work DayNational Baby Food WeekNational Ventriloquism WeekOperation Safe Driver WeekRabbit WeekLinks and References:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33705185/2.     https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-62652-13. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13504851.2022.20366784.      https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/isre.2020.09495.     https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37751434/6.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38748709/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/why-we-do-what-we-do--3419521/support.Support our podcast: www.patreon.com/wwdwwdpodcast
