Solipcism vs Objectivism - Is it better to be selfish or selfless?
Details
This Sunday lets discuss Solipcism (i am the only thing that exists/matters) vs Objectivism (I am nothing and everything/everyone else matters more).
Both positions are morally defensible but where do we personally find ourselves on this Solipcism <-> Objectivism spectrum? Can a compromise be struck between these two extremes?
Fundamentally humans seem to act in accordance with their own set of values. Let's discuss several examples of people's lives (taking theoretical examples, real examples from history, and possibly our own ;) ) and reverse engineer their philosophical leanings.
We are meeting this week at the 3 park benches at Lick Mill Park Right next to the brown clubhouse! Park here https://maps.app.goo.gl/6qssZSxmy4P4CaTF9?g_st=ac look for our infamous whiteboard near the brown clubhouse!
This is an informal spitballing session, no need to be to philosophy pro!
