There are not two 'kinds' of selfishness. You describe a difference in
behaviours, but not in the underlying selfish motive. I remain
unconvinced of the propriety of picking and choosing whether to extol
or demean the same human condition depending on the ideology one is
trying to prop-up.
- robertlagrant 4y agoI'm not trying to prop up an ideology. And I didn't say there were different kinds of selfishness; nor was I extolling or demeaning selfishness. I'm not sure what's left to reply to once I exclude all of that from your comment.
