I think this is a false dichotomy.

It would be pro-social if I donated my wealth to charity, killed myself, and donated my organs... But I don't want to do that.

Does that make me antisocial? Is there no middle ground?

It’s more like, is each action you take as you go through life more antisocial or more prosocial?

I’m sure even Richard Kuklinski held a door open for someone, at some point
