your concern isnt mine
Morals don't apply when you only value yourself
That's the only thing a human should do
That would make us amoral
Value themselves, Their family and those that keep them alive
i dont only value myself, i value my family
thats as far as my loyalty lies
So you value family, and you value those who serve you
i serve my family, you have that part wrong
To quote Ayn Rand if you value others too much you will essentially become a sacrificial object

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
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?
