For those of you bastardizing the term “selfish”, I strongly encourage you to read The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand, then I challenge you to tell me why rational egoism is a bad thing. For that matter, I challenge you to tell me how rational egoism won’t save the world from all its current crisis. And for those of you who want to help everyone (even those undeserving of help), remember, you can’t help anyone unless you take care of yourself first. Please put on your oxygen mask, then secure the masks of others. And finally, I am an extremely benevolent person (moreso than any socialists or leftists I know), but it is immoral to FORCE me to help anyone, much less those who are unwilling, yet able, to help themselves.
