"If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself ... and weaken them. It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on their own, that yield the strongest rewards. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their own battles."
―Darth Traya
Sounds like a philosophy I can get behind. It's just unfortunate that behind all that, the Sith will force-choke someone to death for disagreeing with them. But there are many aspects of the Sith philosophy that are appealing, especially to startup founders: particularly that of passion, without which, we wouldn't have too many startups. And Sith are at least allowed to love, unlike Jedi (though, I guess love could be a subset of passion).

- philwelch 17y agoIt's funny that you mention Ayn Rand, because (to be perfectly blunt) she's kind of a watered down Nietzsche. And the Sith in Knights of the Old Republic (the sequel to which chops was quoting) were very Nietzschean.
