@SpiritSplice ok. the way nw euros behave *on average* (i.e. typically) is, i think, characterized by a lot of reciprocal altruism... -
@SpiritSplice ...people are trusting of, and cooperate easily and willingly with, non-family. this is the opposite of societies that are... -
@SpiritSplice ...characterized by nepotistic altruism (see: the arab world). since nw euro pops are *normally* reciprocally altruistic... -
@SpiritSplice ...those traits can't *possibly* be pathological, either literally (caused by a disease) or figuratively ("abnormal")... -
@SpiritSplice ...these traits of reciprocal altruism and universalism are *normal* in nw euro pops. they've prolly been selected for.

@JimmyTheFader that's fine. you can opt for not communicating. but then there's also the misunderstanding...@SpiritSplice @De_Dolfijn -
@JimmyTheFader ..the situation part, which is the *primary* reason i think it's a bad term. the term is just incorrect and confusing people.
