Food for Thought: A passage on altruism

[reeay]

And how did Rand advocate for the disconsideration of others? She speaks on respecting the rights for others under the non-aggression principle?

"In an essay called "Man's Rights" in the book "The Virtue of Selfishness" she formulated: "The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships. ... In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.""

I'm not saying it's disconsideration rather than it is very self-centric. I know her use of selfish is not as we use it typically (which is kind of the flaw here bc she's using a highly emotionally charged word and of course people will react to it). It's a stance where you're saying I am not going to sacrifice myself for the needs and want of others or I am not going to not do something bc that means I'll be giving up something that I rationalized as being a benefit to all. memememememememememe lol
