RE: Psychological Egoism: Selfishly Improving the World Around You
Ah yes, that's a good post, too.
In reading it — and the comments — I came back to the same place of "what next" I typically end up at: A lot of people simply "don't care" and are not idealistically inclined. Which leads me to consider that perhaps the single most important thing we can do is teach compassion and empathy.
I believe this type of world change becomes more feasible/likely if more people are able to step outside their "hard" selfishness and realize that their actions often DO have an impact on those around them. What we are talking about here is more a "soft" selfishness, for lack of a better term.
It's a challenge to be sure, but I really do enjoy exploring the ways we might get there.
SO MUCH THIS.
That's why I love NVC and the NAP so much. I feel they both help move this along.
YES! I love discovering Voluntaryists who are into NVC!!! It is one of my life quests to turn as many Voluntaryists (and everyone else, heh) on to NVC as possible. I'm writing a book right now called "Practical Empathy". Oh! and I bet you will dig this article: https://steemit.com/voluntaryism/@scottermonkey/does-nonviolent-communication-nvc-sound-like-pc-talk-to-you
You're right, I did like it! Excellent article. Thanks for sharing. It's already paid out, but I'll give you a full vote on this comment. :)
