Also, Occam's razor. People have a tendency to be selfish.
- oldmanjay 11y agoWhy care at all until the results are in? All speculation is entirely baseless, and all moralizing is basically useless.
- aninhumer 11y ago>Also, Occam's razor. People have a tendency to be selfish. That's not Occam's razor. People being selfish isn't a less complicated hypothesis than their being altruistic, regardless of how likely it is.
- pgwhalen 11y agoYour definition of Occam's razor here seems to be "my opinion makes the most sense to me therefore it is correct."
- fucking_tragedy 11y agoGiven the favorable tax system written by people who want to hoard their wealth and when many trusts/charities are just vehicles for securing wealth for founders' families, it is hard to believe anyone acts completely altruistically.
