I think she makes some good arguments in that book

I'm willing to help someone out enough to where they are self sufficient but after that they are on their own

So Individualist?

Yes but it's the reason to why you help someone out. It isnt necessarily altruism.

lol

I think Yaron Brook makes a good point with Bill Gates

that he gives his wealth away because he feels guilty for it

Feeling guilty for being rich and succesful

you know that's a popular sentiment with rich people

actually you saying that made me pick a side

egoist

the reasons I would help someone aren't based around helping someone out for the good of it but rather that they become self sufficient and possibly return the favor

How bout you
