I kind of fail to see how a life in which all my basic needs are secured as long as I agree for them to be secured for everyone else, thus freeing me from anxiously giving my life to the futile attempt to crawl above others, is "altruistic". Working your ass off for nothing but your crude survival and the benefit of a handful of others doesn't seem very selfish if you put it in this perspective.
In any case, whatever is going on right now - it's... not good, to say the least. Wanting to fix the problem with the problem is horribly naive.
Anyway, nice meme.
