>>But taking a broader view, I would submit that in the final analysis, particularly when there is a conflict of self-interests, that both are interdependent, regardless of your perception or mine (which tend to be unknowingly clouded by our own intrinsic conflict of interest, ironically). That is, your best interests are ultimately served by considering mine, and vice-versa.<< ws, interesting conversation. i believe you two have hit on two KEY issues facing humanity. the downfall of humanity will be due to a value system that says destroying the world is better than not achieving my self interest. as you so keenly observed, though, such a value system is wrong headed and not in line with reality. unfortunately, people base decisions on perception and not reality. i firmly believe such a wrong headed value system will threaten humanity in time - don't ask me how long, though. it could be a short or looooooooooooooooooooooong time, but i'm sure it will happen eventually.
