"And the prospects of me getting food without having to interact with another human beeing exites me more than it should".

2018-11-02 05:25:02 UTC  

assuming they have common sense lol

2018-11-02 05:25:04 UTC  

but either way mans happiness trumps others happiness

2018-11-02 05:25:06 UTC  

crimes of passion exist for a reason

2018-11-02 05:25:15 UTC  

people don't always think things through

2018-11-02 05:25:22 UTC  

even rational people

2018-11-02 05:25:27 UTC  

otherwise perfectly rational people

2018-11-02 05:25:30 UTC  

can act stupidly

2018-11-02 05:25:46 UTC  

@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

2018-11-02 05:25:46 UTC  

Exactly. Say you come home and another man lies on top your dead wife....

2018-11-02 05:25:46 UTC  

@AHeroQuest yes assuming that the philosophy is what they hold

2018-11-02 05:25:54 UTC  

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.

2018-11-02 05:26:08 UTC  

you act like we live in this perfect arete world

2018-11-02 05:26:28 UTC  

@Stefan Payne painting a extreme situation which is complicated in itself and philosophy is not meant for dealing with

2018-11-02 05:26:41 UTC  

life is not dealing with your dead wife

2018-11-02 05:26:53 UTC  

I never said being selfish i negative, i said you can be too selfish. wich you disagreed with

2018-11-02 05:27:12 UTC  

@taekahn I gave you how a selfish man would act and you say it isn't possible

2018-11-02 05:27:27 UTC  

you bascially argued there is no point at which a person can be too selfish

2018-11-02 05:27:34 UTC  

yws

2018-11-02 05:27:38 UTC  

*yes

2018-11-02 05:28:08 UTC  

a ridiculous statement.
in your opinion, someone blowing up the world becuase they want a little peace and quiet is fine

2018-11-02 05:28:19 UTC  

?

2018-11-02 05:28:26 UTC  

can't be too selfish, gotta consider only your own needs to every extreme

2018-11-02 05:28:28 UTC  

howd you conclude that

2018-11-02 05:28:36 UTC  

That's the realm of being a dick 😛

2018-11-02 05:28:40 UTC  

that means man destroys all his other values

2018-11-02 05:28:43 UTC  

Because it never ends when you start

2018-11-02 05:28:58 UTC  

So then you admit you CAN be too selfish

2018-11-02 05:29:01 UTC  

You should watch Code Geass, thats kinda what its about

2018-11-02 05:29:01 UTC  

either you can, or you can't

2018-11-02 05:29:10 UTC  

and the interests of other man still can stop him from using force

2018-11-02 05:29:32 UTC  

@taekahn its not selfish to throw away all your values for it to be quiet

2018-11-02 05:29:37 UTC  

I'm not sure if painting this in a black or white scenario helps

2018-11-02 05:29:39 UTC  

lol

2018-11-02 05:30:02 UTC  

The values are what stops you from beeing a psychopathic serial killer.

2018-11-02 05:30:04 UTC  

It is a black and white scenario.
Either you can be too selfish, or you can't be too selfish.
Describe a middle ground

2018-11-02 05:30:42 UTC  

@taekahn you idiot ive refuted everything and you just ignore what I say

2018-11-02 05:30:45 UTC  

apparent selfishness?

2018-11-02 05:31:13 UTC  

like it appears to be selfish acts but by the end it benefits everyone to a significant degree?

2018-11-02 05:31:31 UTC  

Would you say i'm being too selfish in the converstaion then, tv?

2018-11-02 05:31:52 UTC  

I'm thinking more of a half-full / half-empty glass situation
