@amerika @sj_zero Not quite... both individualists and egoists can have goals beyond themselves, if and only if, those goals end up in feelings of pleasure, achievement etc. for the individual.
The main thing for the individual, is that it is my happiness that counts first and foremost, and if having goals beyond myself, increases my happiness, then that's all fine for the individualist.
@shortstories @SilentSeeker This is the truth! You could say biology is a helper science. They run around measuring things, find plants and stuff, which they bring back to chemists and physicists to analyze and draw conclusions from. Once the intellectual work is done ,they get their name on the paper as a thanks for running around in a forest collecting samples.
@SilentSeeker @shortstories No one has ever doubet that the climate changes. I sent graphs that show you that the climate has changed enormously, and if you check the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere in distant history you'll note that it was 5x-10x of today.
Did the planet burn? Did it explode? Not at all. Instead it was covered in vegetation and life.
@sj_zero @amerika I use the words individualist to mean the healthy individual who bases his life on taking responsibility for himself. The other one I call an egoist, which is an unhealthy and destructive state of mind, and which, if too severe, can be seen as a mental illness.
Don't let the left capture the word individual just like they did with the word liberal. Liberal originally meant the ideology of freedom. This was perverted by the left to spread socialism. It is really very sad.
@Escoffier Shush! Only the police can protect you and no one else! 😎
@freepatriot I want reasoning and proof before I take such evidence seriously.
This kind of advice has been repeated every day since forever, by a lot of people.
@SilentSeeker @shortstories and low in the IQ chain are very common.
Add to that geologic temperature records, and the climate hysteria angle starts to fall apart real quick.
@SilentSeeker @shortstories The science behind it is called physics, and physicists know that better than social scientists. If you, as a social scientists, are not familiar with the details, then ipso facto, you are not familiar with the risks, and should not speak out in your role as a "scientist".
I think it is very telling that among the skeptics physicists are very common, but in the hysterical crowd, politicians, social scientists, biologists and other such people low in the good chain
@wallstreetapes This is very concernning. If americans, just for a moment, would look at what is happening in europe, it would become crystal clear that moslems must be deported from the US at once. If not, the US risks becoming europe.
@Dan_Ramos Brilliant!
@DwarvenAllFather But what is the solution then?
