I didn’t try to claim ‘“intrinsically caring about other people” is not a thing that exists in humans’. It does. I also think it’s not strong enough to do that much vs other incentives. It’s strong enough to in some places establish a system which in a buch of situations aligns other incentives with the drive.
And replying to your example: parent-child instincts are real so I’d expect Alice to care. But if roles were reversed a lot of people decide to not take care of their parents
