"if rational selfishness implies aiding the larger society to improve my quality of life, then yes, absolutely be rationally selfish." Can I hire you to write my lines and my speeches!? "I may need to leave the tribe to mate with unrelated females" You realize that you used the plural tense, right?! ;-) "I want to suggest that the idea of duty has some adaptive value to a tribe and this 'sense' or instinct of duty also has value in a modern society" Is that why our wars are fought by kids barely old enough to drink? How far is it between the "duty" to bring a lamb's shoulder to Aaron and his family--and the "duty" to die for Aaron?? I like your posts. You are an honest person (a rarity around here!). I say that sincerely. Why would a RATIONAL individual ever DIE for the group?? Dead is dead. Those ants you sprayed are not coming back...
