people that don't recognise themselves as egoists yes
because they are following a lie
but even egoists would kill themselves
depression,...
it all comes down to you
or in reality they know their loved ones lives could be better
because theyre not dead
IF an egoist were to perform an altruistic action that would be immoral no?
no
why
egoists don't believe in morality
because altruism doesnt exist according to egoists
it would be out of accordance with their moral framework
normative ethics?
we dont have to use moral and immoral if you dont want to
well egoists can't even preform an altruisit action in the first place
Why is that
altruism doesn't exist
yes
there are involuntary and volountary egoists
being involountary isnt immoral
it's just annoying lol
egoists might call you spooked
if you do it
but yeah
I don't see how they could hold that position. If someone sacrifices themselves in order to for example feed their children to which they die of starvation
I know for sure that selfishness is a good driving force for humanity though
That wouldn't be an altruistic action to the.?
Them*
that was my questione essentially
they sacrifice for the the children because they care for them
and they care from egoistic reasons
volountary egoist might not sacrefice
involountary will because he will hold it higher than himself
Regardless of the reason or intent, they perform an action directly for someone else's interests in sacrifice of their own
you can call the direct action altruisitc
I mean the action in on itself
but you prefored it from egoists reasons
so it's egoistc
