Ah! I popped by and saw the posts here yesterday ( I’ve had my folks staying for two weeks so not been on much) and went away thinking about the Hippocratic oath. Returned today to find my thoughts written for me, haha. This has turned into a very thought-provoking thread, thank you!
I ended up also straying into Selfish Gene territory and wondering about altruism. I think it probably does exist in the outside world, and that there are some people who genuinely help others when it can represent no tangible gain to themselves. It will be interesting to see whether it can exist within our Fractured microcosm, although it would probably not be measurable because genuine altruists would probably stay quiet about their actions
