But it still seems unlikely. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) self preservation isn't a selfless motive, but if it results in philanthropy then that's a win. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Exactly!
