Just on my mind was a episode of a show "Mossad 101" where a person used reasoning to figure out that they would succeed by being altruistic and making a personal sacrifice for others. I think the show succeeded in causing an emotional reaction when it was announced that this would not do anything to help the person and they were removed from the society (course). But, later the same character who appeared not to value altruism later demonstrated a great deal of it as did others making it clear that among many faults, mankind has a trait of kindness and such compassion is it's greatest trait. Growing up in film and television and such the saving trait of our kind was referred to as humanity. It seemed to me that the writer's were trying to use their "voice" to calm any worries that machine would ever ursurp man.
It is true, that if a person is nice or sweet it is universally appreciated the whole philosophical argument of morality being determined by natural sense and reflection of such. Being considerate and kind is cross-cultural. There is more to it. It is easiest to explain.... Ha ha without finishing that thought I recall occam's razor... Though the notion that were are all connected or children of God, aka brothers and sisters.
Cue "Ode to Joy"
