Too me it sounds like a fake attempt to have integrity. I mean, you decide, from now on I do this and don't do this. Then a situation comes where you know you should break this rule, but this stupid principle is holding you back. Just do what's right, no need to put burdens like this on yourself. | ||

But then you could say "well, I don't think that's really a principal, so much as it is just long term planning and trust (prisoner's dilemma thwarted)," and I might very well let you have that distinction. But then consider this: In the cold war, the only thing that seemed to be preventing the US and the USSR from nuking the fuck out of the other one, was something called MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction), which meant that if a nuke was on its way to one of them, the other would fire nukes back, even though the destruction of millions of innocent lives of the other did nothing to save the lives of their own innocents. In effect, it was an irrational conclusion, which one could call principal. If you kill me, I will make sure you die too, on principal, even though it doesn't help me at all. So could you deny that that is a matter of principal too? I'm not so sure that I could, even though earlier in this thread I tried to disregard principal. | ||

I do not act based on "right" or "wrong", but do whatever I want as long as I know I am not hurting anybody. And only if they righteously so should be hurt by what I do, not simply their own petty whims that cause them to feel so. Only if it actually does cause trouble do I refrain from acting. Not to say that I am cold-hearted or anything though, cause I try and help everyone I can. But I am not afraid to act for my own fun or gain if people simply think that what I'm doing may be wrong. | ||
