Our actions are very strongly affected by the actions of the people around us
lots of things are hereditary
I didnt deny hereditary natre of genes, I denied that I owe anything to someone or should be proud of him simply cause we have similar genes
Ok that sounds different
@Cesare Anasazi then you missed my entire point and all the statements I made on the topic.
misread them I mean
Are you proud of your family?
I did not say anything about moral connections here.
There is nothing to be proud about my family
lol
Thankfully I am not connected to their actions anyway
??
Objectivist is a descendant of Stalin I bet
Someone does something for me -> I adjust my behavior and do something for them -> they do something for me in return
Thus pride for someone else's actions
Or achievements w/e
I don get how I can be proud of their actions here
Only pride that is possible is if I myself did something well
If you contributed to their success
Then you can be proud of their achievements
If I taught them and helped them along the way yes I hold part of that achivement
Ah ok so
And no, I have no ancestors that are alike Stalin in any way
You would tell a person you helped "I'm so proud of myself for your success"
Sounds narcissistic af
I would not tell them anything, I would evaluate my own actions and ask myself if I can do better
Individualism is egotism
lol
So you would just say nothing
But you'd think it
Probably not, unless they deserve a praise
"I'm so proud, I helped this guy have success, that's so awesome on my part"
If I did good job I should be proud
And if a person who followed my advice did a good job I would respect them for it
But you wouldn't say it because you realize it sounds egocentric af
No, I would not say it cause I usually dont care
You don't care to do what?
I dont care enough to tell people my opinion on a thing that isnt particulary relevant to me
On the other hand, if my intern does a good job learning there's 2 things going on here.
1. I do good job teaching
2. He does good job learning
I dont feel I can claim pride for his ability to learn, only to my ability to teach
It's funny to me cause
