No, I don't subscribe Mother Teresa's unfortunate philosophy. I'm pointing out that Objectivists going "Oooh Bill Gates gave away $100M, what a wonderful guy" should be smacked good and hard with a copy of Atlas Shrugged. Giving $100M was trivial for him to do.
- lusus_naturae 3y ago> Giving $100M was trivial for him to do. So? Expecting altruism to the point of self-sacrifice is narcissistic and selfish. I can appreciate however why humans have evolved to foster altruistic attitudes. The problem is that people with less affable personality types often manipulate, abuse or control such altruism, which is dangerous, counterproductive and inhumane.
