LOYALTY IS NOT ECONOMICALLY RATIONAL | 2006-05-01
Never try to teach an anti that he should be loyal.
I remember a sitcom where he parents were appalled to find that their son was psychopath. They suddenly discovered that he couldn't CARE if he hurt somebody.
What I loved was his common sense reply:
"You are saying I should feel bad when I hurt somebody? Why should I WANT that?"
This was statement of pure economic rationality, the position Ayn Rand took.
He was perfectly correct.
If one is born without loyalt in a society where loyalty is a mortal sin, why on earth should one want to be otherwise?
The anti has no feeling for his own race whatsoever.
He certainly has nothing to GAIN by having any such loyalty.
You can never persaude anybody that a feeling for the survival of your kind is something they should WANT.
A conscience is a burden.
If they don't have this burden, why should they WANT it?
