Braincast 016 - Altruism

A peaceful topic at last: altruism, fairness, kindness. From scratch healthy brains are not capable of anything else – and they don´t want to, too. An episode of bright prospects.

Nice music for a nice topic: we start with Josh James and Piano, continue with Eletrix and Road to Rio and Christophe Goze and Hi Honey. The finish is an encore for Paul Borth and Paul in love.
