There are multiple ways in which genes may bring about altruism. Some are more indirect:

1. Kin selection: Help those who share your genes. (A promotes A'.)
2. Reciprocity: Help others, they help you. (A promotes B who promotes A.)
3. Reputation: Let others recognize who is generally helpful. (A promotes B to persuade C to promote A.)
4. "Handicap Principle": Advertise yourself by showing to be able to afford to take risks and provide charity. (A promotes B to persuade C to mate with A.)

How about making use of head/eye-tracking and electro-active lens technology? Expensive, yes - but not impossible. I was under the impression that this stuff is in use these days in military-grade flight simulators.

Still lame. It clearly should be "7h3j3570r".

I don't think this is any more plausible. Those who doubt that 0.999... equals 1 will also say that "0.333... will never reach 1/3".

Unfortunately, Germany has a 5% election threshold clause.

Sorry for nitpicking: The term "antisemitism" does not (anymore) derive its meaning from "anti-" and "semite". Since the 19th century (or so) it is established as the term for _racially_ motivated adverseness against jews (in particular) -- as opposed to anti-judaism, which is the term for religiously motivated adverseness against jews. It's an unfortunate diction, but that's the way it is.
