You're viewing part of a thread.
I'm not the guy you're replying to and I am interested to hear his response, but also I'd like to point out that you jumped to conclusions faster than Superman can jump over a building. But hey what do I know? I'm just a libertarian minarchist. Personally, almost all of your purity tests are repugnant from my point of view.
Maybe you should look into egotistical altruism.
I used to be an Ayn Rand libertarian minarchist when I was a teenager. There's a bunch of reasons I disagree with it now, but the utter failure of people's butthead behavior during the pandemic is just the latest things that you'd have to completely ignore to maintain egotistical altruism is something that can be relied on in the real world. Not really interested in a discussion about it; I've had all of them long ago and I don't think we'd have anything to budge the other person.
You seem to have an entirely separate definition of what egotistical altruism means from how most other people understand the concept. In its simplest form it's just doing good unto others so they can live more productive better lives as more of their needs are met by community support.
Ok, that definition does not define how people acted during the pandemic either. Some people were even actively harming others.
Brother you seem lost I'm saying that's how people should act if they want to have a positive impact on their society
And I'm saying people don't act like that via the example of the pandemic. I understand the definition but think it's unrealistic to expect people to act like that. Does that make sense to you? From this end it seems like you're the lost one so I'm not quite sure how to clarify what I've said.
Be the change you want to see
