reason why i hate term "pathological altruism," apart from it being wrong, is how will hyper-altruists react to it?https://twitter.com/hbdchick/status/698576164131074048 …

@hbdchick How do we know that caring about the feelings of "hyper-altruists" is not itself a form of patho... um ... "hyper-altruism"? -
@DIA_operative my point was not to care about hurting their feelings. my point is trying to facilitate communication between the two camps. -

@JSBTC i think that a bad tack. if they really are hyper-universalists, then maybe point out that *they* leave some out.@DIA_operative -

@DIA_operative mmmm. i just wonder if they *can* learn that.@JSBTC -
@hbdchick@DIA_operative@JSBTC they can't, which is why it doesn't matter if we call them "pathological" they just need to shtap -
@PuzzlePrivateer i think it does matter 'cause 1) pathological is just incorrect, so people will keep...@DIA_operative@JSBTC - 3 more replies

@TanstaaflAoT no, i just think nw euros have *much* less nepotistic altruism and *much* more reciprocal altruism, ergo more universalism. -
@TanstaaflAoT ...which doesn't work well in new env't filled w/nepotistically altruistic populations. not pathological. just out of place. -
@TanstaaflAoT it's still a problem, imo! but if you want to fix a problem, you need to correctly understand its nature.

@hbdchick It would certainly make me think about what I'm doing. -
@vikingdude3922 srsly? how do you react when a SJW calls you a racist for wanting less immigration? (presuming things about you here. (^_^)) -
@hbdchick I have no common basis for communicating with those people, so I don't. -
@vikingdude3922 you've never been called a waaaycist on the internet? lucky you! =P
