To quote Ayn Rand if you value others too much you will essentially become a sacrificial object

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck Cease the copypasta's in the politics channels.

I'm talking to Lizard

Can't talk to two people at once, sorry

@Comando Alright, will do 👌🏻

its nps, getting a beer

Ayn Rand was wrong though, she thought selfishness creates the best... world, or whatever

She's not entirely wrong, but she was partially wrong, because she thought it's a universal and complete truth

I agree with her on morality because she supported the base form of morality

Which is only valuing yourself, Your Family and those that keep both of those things alive

The base form of morality that is natural

That's a very small circle for ethics

I never said Nihilism was a popular philosophy of ethics, But i think it is the most reasonable

Ayn Rand stated very clearly that she does not condone things like murder, theft etc.

I don't either

She does not only value those you mentioned

Just not because of morality

I oppose it because it damages society

Ayn Rand plants the whole of society in her circle of ethics

I oppose it due to realism of what keeps society going not because of any moral reason

I don't know if you're aware of the interviews she gave that add insight into her philosophy

I don't agree with her completely

Only partly

I know she wasn't exactly a Nihilist

She wasn't far off though

But if you disagree with the outer circles of Ayn Rand's ethics, then you're hardly in support of her philosophy

I only partially support it

I support the idea of embracing selfishness for example

Ayn Rand had views that contradict her views on selfishness

You'll find this often with philosophers, that they don't have a complete understanding of their own views, so they have to refine them over time, and often radically change some aspects

Do you agree that -isms are dangerous?

What do you mean by -isms?

Nationalism, collectivism, socialism, capitalism, etc. etc.

objectivism

famanism?

fanaticism

It depends on what one

femenism*

Capitalism to an extent

An -ism is the extreme of an idea

I don't think being extreme is really that dangerous if that's what your asking
