let me put it this way: apart from being incorrect, the term "pathological altruism" is just another form of #VirtueSignalling.

@hbdchick@PBarbicane the kind of people who regularly virtue signal are generally immune to reason and evidence in my experience -
@stidesheaven@hbdchick Yes, most people are immune to evidence. The data clearly shows that; evidence doesn't convince people. -
@stidesheaven@hbdchick Interestingly, though, that one piece of data does convince me. Probably I was inclined to believe it anyway. - End of conversation
