There's also people who appear to be waving a pedestrian to cross when
they might be flicking ash off their fag or waving to someone they know.

Well, I don't know how many people do it for that reason (unless they
know them possibly), rather than they just aren't seeing the bigger
picture?

Most altruism is incomprehensible or anti-evolutionary; but there you are.

This lack of understanding of things like altruism, empathy, what
constitutes actually being humane to animals (showing compassion and
benevolence) seems common amongst a particular minority here.

And in contrast to what *you* believe, the ability to understand and
offer these things is the very thing that has evolved the human
species from the more basic animal we once were (and some still are).
