Because I am selfish and, by and large, don't care about others. Selfish? Yes. Just being honest.

- objectivetruth 6y agoHow fascinating, to see someone brag about being selfish. Everyone is on a spectrum of selfishness vs. selflessness, of caring for themselves alone vs. caring only for others. Different societies have different ways of optimizing these balances. Sometimes we "reward" selfishness: a CEO who mercilessly crushes his or her rivals makes a lot of money. A criminal kingpin can "buy" safety and protection, fame and adulation. But humanity hasn't improved over the past ten millennia by embracing selfishness.
