To clarify... if his children were competent AND had his money, I'm sure they could make an even greater impact to the world than he did. Instead, he would rather give his money away to charity as some form of personal achievement. ??
Isn't life suppose to evolute in some form, rather than starting from scratch? That is effectively what he's imposing on his children. His comment about "competence" makes no sense to me.
- Confusion 16y agoIsn't life suppose to evolute in some form, [..] Life is not 'supposed to' do anything. That we evolved is a fact of this universe, not a moral guideline. Arguing otherwise would be pursuing the naturalistic fallacy: something is natural, therefore it is morally good.
