Good post bro +1
Altruism IS selfishness ...PERIOD
People confuse this because people want to say "Look at me I'm Altruistic, I help people, I'm a GOOD person". That's BS, people help other people because it makes THEM feel good (Selfishness). ie:

This is not altruism but rather an informed decision based on risk and reward. If the fellow survives then we are rewarded both socially and emotionally.

It would make ME feel good if I could help, and if it fails, I can FEEL GOOD because at least I tried.

Why are their "catbirds"? Drone bees ? It is NOT Altruistic behavior, it is Selfishness . This behavior is prey distraction (even sacrificial) to help continue the "bloodline" or genes . Also known as the "Selfish Gene".
So yeah, lol, guess I agree with your premise. I just don't like the the term "selfishly altruistic" use ONE word or the other, lol !!! Basically your premise, I know, lol, but I'M HAVIN FUN !

While we're on the subject of delusional phrases, and basic "Failed Logic" in general, lol ... Something I'm working on , which is basically what you're doing here ...
I abhor this Orwellian Newspeak that has become rampant these days. I am trying to convince people to be more truthful in their language or speech. I can't stand these passive, weak ass statements that are so dogmatic it makes me sick. ie: Oh That's just wrong ... Yep, that's such a shame ... oh that's just so sad ... yeah, that's just too bad ... yeah I really hate to hear that ...
When (IMHO), they should be saying "That's not just wrong ! THAT'S FUCKING EVIL !!!!

STAND UP DAMMIT AND BE A MAN ABOUT IT !!! All this EVIL CRAP going on in the world is just pure unadulterated EVIL ! And we need to start getting AGGRESSIVE about it and calling these EVIL people out and calling them EVIL, and QUIT condoning this EVIL shit by SAYING ! Oh That's just wrong ... Yep, that's such a shame ... oh that's just so sad ... yeah, that's just too bad ... yeah I really hate to hear that ...

If YOU condone a behavior, YOU ARE promoting that behavior !, STOP it ! YOU EVIL Bastages !
just sayin ....
"Yeah, well, that's just, like, MY opinion, man"
