Topic: Moral selfishness is good

Immigrant !jJEom8Ii3E started this discussion 10 years ago #55,102

It works for me, and how can I be good if I don't work? So it's a win win.

Like, to get in a position where you are able to practice altruism, you first need to accumulate things, with moral selfishness.

and that's a parody of "rationalization"
as the wise tell us, things in moderation
as another wise tells us, evil is bad. unless we are doing it. then, it is good.
"it's not racism when we're doing it" or torture, etc.

Thanks man. I'll enjoy the read.

Surly self preservation isn't immoral? Moral behavior can't be a path to self destruction. I'm not going to act like some kind of a evil capitalist, but simply put myself first more often.
