Strictly speaking I wouldn't call any of those efforts "altruisitic". They do not reduce your fitness while increasing another's. They are mutualistic (assuming that both benefit)--because both you (social capital) and the recipient (improved knowledge) are better off.(That would be me sharing my intellectual research field in a mutualistic way)Cheers by the way. Have some social capital. No really it's on me.

Not really a very tight analogy. People can passively detect your socially non-normative nudity, and, if bothered by it, would need to take steps to actively avoid continued exposure, whereas you can just not ask OP what he thinks, which you are already doing by default.

Also, you should carry some disinfecting wipes for the public seats you use.
