That's an interesting definition of "altruist". <Tobago Jack is an altruist. That's really worth admiring.> Somehow, I can't imagine Gandhi, Mother Theresa and other "altruists" as advocating shooting escapees from political serfdom in the back. I guess it's altruistic in your book to be in favour of killing Taiwanese who refuse to submit to serfdom to the Beijing Bandits.

Words do morph with time. But that's a peculiar new definition.

I'm spreading my much more valuable knowledge and thinking out free too. Big deal! Lots of people do that. It's not altruistic. "Altruistic" is normally more along the lines of costing oneself a lot for no reward to help others.

TJ does in fact sell his know-how for very fat fees, as he has explained, helping people get into China, and then out of China.

Let's not form a new religion right here in SI.
