RE: An open Letter to those who claim to care

Of course I agree with you brother... but at the same time, may I ask (i think you've heard of it, because you are a tarazkpian like myself) have you heard of selfish altruism?

It sounds like a paradox, but the concept is quite sound.

Its far fetched for some but I honestly feel it's darn accurate.

Sort:  

Yes I've heard of the term. Richard Dawkin wrote about it in 'The selfish Gene' I look on it like Karma or as Jesus was quoted as saying ' Do un to others as you would have done on to you' ( or something like that.). Jack Nicholson said it more simply ' Why can't we all just get along?'

@meno @ammonite Some would argue that selfishness produces good deeds and good personhood, and selflessness produces punishment and hatred....
