where as if i lust for traps long enough

2018-01-23 01:35:05 UTC  

I could become gay o.o

2018-01-23 01:35:06 UTC  

Hunger is the strongest emotion if you're hungry enough

2018-01-23 01:35:10 UTC  

I would like to reiterate. I consider selfishness to be a virtue because it is the means by which I pursue living on earth. That is what it means to be an objectivist.

2018-01-23 01:35:24 UTC  

what if i WANT to go to bed, but people disagree with me on the internet?

2018-01-23 01:35:32 UTC  

lol

2018-01-23 01:35:34 UTC  

provided that it is rational.

2018-01-23 01:35:37 UTC  

Greed is good.

2018-01-23 01:35:48 UTC  

then you are being altruistic by staying up lol

2018-01-23 01:35:51 UTC  

its 2:35 at night! y'all killing me

2018-01-23 01:35:59 UTC  

I'd say voluntary and self-aware sacrifice for the good of others, and truly _wanting_ to do it, isn't even remotely selfish.

2018-01-23 01:36:24 UTC  

now you are learning first hand that altruism is anti-life 😂

2018-01-23 01:36:31 UTC  

Ah but are you soing good and sacrificing for others, or for the good feeling from it?

2018-01-23 01:36:40 UTC  

becuase thats what virtue signaling is

2018-01-23 01:36:41 UTC  

exactly

2018-01-23 01:36:44 UTC  

thats the point

2018-01-23 01:36:51 UTC  

that is a selfish act

2018-01-23 01:36:52 UTC  

Can't I do both?

2018-01-23 01:37:08 UTC  

you can, but its still selfish

2018-01-23 01:37:10 UTC  

Sounds like a consequence that will happen, regardless of your motivation.

2018-01-23 01:37:13 UTC  

short anser no, with an if. Long answer n owith a but.

2018-01-23 01:37:16 UTC  

Nah, I disagree with you.

2018-01-23 01:37:25 UTC  

it can't be altruistic unless it is a duty.

2018-01-23 01:37:26 UTC  

No you just do what I do.

2018-01-23 01:37:34 UTC  

Refuse to get ANY benfit from it

2018-01-23 01:37:36 UTC  

It's selfish on one front, selfless on another.

2018-01-23 01:37:49 UTC  

if its a duty its not selflessness because it didnt come from free will but duty

2018-01-23 01:37:52 UTC  

Help someone and the only thing you ask is for them in turn to help one person

2018-01-23 01:38:03 UTC  

Just because there's a "negative", that doesn't somehow negate the positive.

2018-01-23 01:38:09 UTC  

If anyone compliments you, you down right refuse it and say its just a normal thing to do

2018-01-23 01:38:09 UTC  

nothing can be selfless if it's forced upon a person

2018-01-23 01:38:10 UTC  

Altruism definitely fucks with the gene pool at least

2018-01-23 01:38:31 UTC  

that is why communism is the prime example of an altruistic ideology. You must sacrifice everything you value for the people, and be given as little value as possible in return.

2018-01-23 01:38:38 UTC  

no its not

2018-01-23 01:38:40 UTC  

Alturism also has a goal for a group.

2018-01-23 01:38:50 UTC  

Helping one group to keep them dependant and weak helps your group

2018-01-23 01:39:07 UTC  

Look at the world right now, look at nato

2018-01-23 01:39:09 UTC  

communism is all about self interest, they do it because it benefits them, not because it benefits anyone else

2018-01-23 01:39:13 UTC  

Lol communism never says give up what you value pls

2018-01-23 01:39:17 UTC  

the leaders do

2018-01-23 01:39:23 UTC  

but the people give up everything.
