"And the prospects of me getting food without having to interact with another human beeing exites me more than it should".
assuming they have common sense lol
but either way mans happiness trumps others happiness
crimes of passion exist for a reason
people don't always think things through
even rational people
otherwise perfectly rational people
can act stupidly
@taekahn We are conditioned to see selfishness as a negative trait but that's not the case. However, there are stark differences between being selfish and being a dick
Exactly. Say you come home and another man lies on top your dead wife....
@AHeroQuest yes assuming that the philosophy is what they hold
And I'd say that's due in part to the nature of the world currently. Too much instant gratification leads to that desire elsewhere in life, even when logic and rational should be your go to.
you act like we live in this perfect arete world
@Stefan Payne painting a extreme situation which is complicated in itself and philosophy is not meant for dealing with
life is not dealing with your dead wife
I never said being selfish i negative, i said you can be too selfish. wich you disagreed with
@taekahn I gave you how a selfish man would act and you say it isn't possible
you bascially argued there is no point at which a person can be too selfish
yws
*yes
a ridiculous statement.
in your opinion, someone blowing up the world becuase they want a little peace and quiet is fine
?
can't be too selfish, gotta consider only your own needs to every extreme
howd you conclude that
That's the realm of being a dick 😛
that means man destroys all his other values
Because it never ends when you start
So then you admit you CAN be too selfish
You should watch Code Geass, thats kinda what its about
either you can, or you can't
and the interests of other man still can stop him from using force
@taekahn its not selfish to throw away all your values for it to be quiet
I'm not sure if painting this in a black or white scenario helps
lol
The values are what stops you from beeing a psychopathic serial killer.
It is a black and white scenario.
Either you can be too selfish, or you can't be too selfish.
Describe a middle ground
@taekahn you idiot ive refuted everything and you just ignore what I say
apparent selfishness?
like it appears to be selfish acts but by the end it benefits everyone to a significant degree?
Would you say i'm being too selfish in the converstaion then, tv?
I'm thinking more of a half-full / half-empty glass situation
