Note: I use the word "altruism" here in its modern, non-Comtean sense. Altruism is that which benefits others.

Who means that by Altruism? Are movie stars altruistic because people enjoy their movies? Anyone who produces something someone else values is altruistic?

The word for that which produces value is productive, not Altruism.
