Oh. That was how I had been using in this thread anyway, haha.

Back on track -- yeah, I don't believe all action is done selfishly.

>>2674973
How does Objectivism's selfishness differ from the traditional sense?

έργα and get over it.

>>2674758
Then why do people fulfill obligations when leaving them unfulfilled would benefit them more? I don't believe it's an act of selfishness -- they feel a sense of duty, that they ought to keep their promises.

You could claim that keeping promises brings some sort of satisfaction, but that begs the question, why does keeping a promise bring satisfaction? Because it is the right thing to do? Well, why is it the right thing to do? Because it brings satisfaction?

One ton of dragonforce is heavier than both

All actions being self-interested doesn't seem to follow from that.

>all your actions are out of self-interest

...and your reasoning for this is what, precisely?

Ahahahahaha:


Salim,

As your former editor, I was extremely disappointed at having read this. The topic you’ve chosen to undertake is a non-issue. What did you hope to gain from promoting a conversation regarding the supremacy of certain fields of study? It’s not a contest, nor should it be. The fact that you bring this to public conversation only to assert your narrow viewpoint is a flagrant misuse of your privilege (never a right) as a collegiate journalist. I hope you take some lessons from this.

Never write for self-gratification. If that was not your intention, it sure reads like it. And in this business, you should know that seeming is just as bad as being.

Editors: It’s your duty to help your writers through the process of becoming cogent and compelling. What happened?

How shocking

It means "approaching from the right," as in the positive side of the graph. "-" would mean from the left/negative side.

This can be used for graphs such as 1/x, where the limit as x->0 will be different depending on the side you approach from.
