@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

unless I am way out of the ball park with my version of the middle ground

I don't know @AHeroQuest . I get where you're coming from, but that goes deeper than the act of doing something selfish into considering the ramifications of the action

Being selfish isn't a bad thing. And good things can result from it and bad things can result from it

Its the act itself that i'm talking about. The "i'm doing this without consideration for anyone but myself"

A certain amount of selfishness is healthly

but like anything, you can be too selfish

you can also be too selfless

its all a balance

I'd agree with the original sentiment that being selfish usually has a negative connotation, but being selfish doesn't mean it's being done out of spite or with hatred or ill intent.

If you blow up the world for peace and quiet and then decide after you want a conversation. You have already destroyed your other values

Destroying values doesn't even enter into the conversation

All acts of selfishness don't have to be done to any extreme degree though

again, i'm talking about a single solitary act

You can be selfish without throwing away any values whatsoever

They don't but tv was claiming its impossible to be too selfish

```All acts of selfishness don't have to be done to any extreme degree though```
And too much selflessness is worse than beeing selfish as Angela M. has shown us....
