No wonder liberals seem to make no sense to me.

Please, no politics.



"We should all act with our own interests as the ultimate goal of our actions" - Sounds like a philosophical excuse to be Neutral Evil to me.

Please, no hypocrisy.

the rules state for ENWorld that any topics about politics will get the thread killed. That's why he cautioned anyone replying. Keep it plain and vanilla and no political commentary


Back on topic:
Epicureanism
Epicurus (341-270 BC) - Greek founder of Epicureanism

Pleasure is the ultimate moral end
Dynamic (passionate) pleasures are bad, passive (mild) pleasures are good
The end result of pleasure is what is significant


Who is this guy? But it shows I like lots of pleasure! He's got that part right!!

And..... ?

I made no political comment. However, in the midst of his caution against political comments he feels free to make one himself. I simply point out the hypocrisy.

And my statement implied no politics. It was an observation that having an outlook that appears to be heavily (although unintentionally) influenced by Rand is likely what makes a particular subset of political thinks incomprehensible to me. With no commentary on the rightness, wrongness, or other -ness of their (or my) views.

I apologize. I quit smoking last Tuesday and have been rather irritable . Please ignore me.

Congrats on one of the most self-rewarding choices that can be made.

I happily delete all relevant posts and request that Leopold delete my quote from his post.
